Marvin Bagley (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.Bagley will miss a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a thoracic strain. With starter Alex Sarr (illness) listed as questionable, the Wizards could be left to rely on Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere against the Bucks.
Alex Sarr (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bucks.Sarr did not participate in Wednesday's practice, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday night. With Marvin Bagley III and Tristan Vukcevic already out, the Wizards will be in a rough spot if Sarr can't play. Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere would have to play rotation minutes in that scenario.
The Athletic's Josh Robbins reports that Alex Sarr (illness) missed Wednesday's practice.According to Robbins, there is a bug going around Washington's locker room. Sarr should be considered questionable for Thursday's tilt with the Bucks, and with Marvin Bagley III (back) and Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) dealing with injuries, Washington's frontcourt could be highly limited.
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Skal Labissiere has signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards.Labissiere logged three appearances with the Kings last season, and he's spent this season with Washington's G League affiliate, the Capitol City Go-Go. The big man has performed well in the G League, and he could earn some rotational minutes behind Alex Sarr until Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are back on the court. Labissiere isn't a player to target on the waiver wire.
