Washington Wizards forward Anthony Gill is day-to-day with a back issue and questionable for Monday's game at Orlando. His role has been small, so the effect on the rotation looks limited.
What happened
Gill, a 34-year-old forward, appeared on the Sunday, Nov. 1 injury report at 4:59 p.m. ET as Day-To-Day. The injury is listed as back, with torso also noted. No previous status is listed for him. The report's comment reads: "Gill (back) is questionable to suit up in Monday's contest against Orlando." The report lists Nov. 2 as his expected return date, which is the day of the Orlando game. No other timeline has been announced, and the severity of the injury has not been described beyond the back and torso designation.
What it means for the Wizards
Washington plays at the Magic on Monday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Wizards are 3-3, sixth seed, and have won their last game. Gill has played one game and logged 0.6 minutes, with no points, rebounds or assists. The Wizards are 0-1 with him and 3-2 without him. If he sits, the rotation does not change much. Trae Young (36.4 minutes), Anthony Davis (33.4), Kyshawn George (31.6) and AJ Dybantsa (28.3) lead the minutes in games without him. Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington follow. Sarr is also day-to-day with a left knee and leg issue.
What to watch
The next update is the status for Monday's game at Orlando. Gill is questionable, so his availability is not settled. The report lists Nov. 2 as his expected return date, but it has not said whether he will play. Washington is also without Tristan Vukcevic, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins, who are all listed as out. Sarr's day-to-day status is the other one to track before tipoff.
