Anthony Gill is out for the Wizards' game at Orlando on Monday night, a step up from day-to-day. The injury report lists Nov. 4 as his expected return.
What happened
The Wizards' injury report, posted Monday at 1:34 p.m. ET, lists forward Anthony Gill as out with a back issue, also tagged torso. He moved up from day-to-day, the status he carried Sunday, Nov. 1, with the same back and torso designation. The report's comment still says Gill is questionable to suit up in Monday's contest against Orlando, which does not match the out status. The report lists his expected return as Nov. 4. No other detail on the injury has been provided.
What it means for the Wizards
Washington plays at the Magic on Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET. The Wizards are 3-3, sixth in the standings, and have won one in a row. Gill gives them little on paper. He has played one game this season, for 0.6 minutes, with no points, rebounds or assists. The Wizards are 0-1 with him and 3-2 without him. The minutes go to the regulars. In games without Gill, Trae Young plays 36.4 minutes and scores 20.7 points. Anthony Davis plays 33.4 and scores 22.3. Kyshawn George plays 31.6. The frontcourt is thin, because Alex Sarr (25.4 minutes in those games) and Tristan Vukcevic are also out.
What to watch
Watch the next injury report for any change to Gill's status and for a corrected comment. The only return date listed is Nov. 4, and nothing beyond that is announced. Gill's availability for games after Monday is not announced. Sarr, Vukcevic, Reece Beekman, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins are also listed as out, so the Wizards' depth will stay under watch until those statuses change.
