Anthony Gill was upgraded from out to day-to-day with a back and torso issue on the Tuesday report. The Wizards list his expected return as Nov. 4, the night of their home game against the Hawks.
What happened
Gill, a 34-year-old forward, moved from Out to Day-To-Day on the injury report posted at 12:53 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 3. The listed injury is back and torso. He first appeared as day-to-day with the same issue on Sunday, Nov. 1, and was ruled out on Monday. The report's comment says Gill (back) was out for Monday's game against the Magic. The report gives an expected return of Nov. 4. No other details on the injury have been announced.
What it means for the Wizards
Washington hosts the Hawks on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7:00 PM ET. The Wizards are 4-3, fifth in the standings, and have won two straight. Gill has played one game for them, 0.6 minutes with no points, rebounds or assists, so he has given them almost nothing so far. The Wizards are 0-1 with him and 4-2 without him. When he has been out, the minutes have gone to Trae Young (36.1), Anthony Davis (33.5), Kyshawn George (32.3), AJ Dybantsa (30.0), Bilal Coulibaly (27.3) and Alex Sarr (25.4). Tre Johnson (20.9) and Bub Carrington (19.6) follow. Sarr is also day-to-day with a left knee and leg issue.
What to watch
The next update is the injury report before Wednesday's game against the Hawks. His status could change again before the 7:00 PM ET tip. The report lists Nov. 4 as his expected return, so the Hawks game is the first chance for him to play. Watch whether his minutes stay small if he does. Reece Beekman, Tristan Vukcevic, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins are all listed as out, and Sarr is day-to-day.
