Anthony Gill Has Barely Played Through Washington's First Four Games
Anthony Gill is back with the Wizards for a seventh season after re-signing over the summer, but the opening week hasn't given him much of a role. Washington has used the 34-year-old forward sparingly, with just 3.6 minutes against the Knicks as his only real appearance so far. He isn't on the injury report.

Gill has shown up in the box score for four games this season, and three of them show zero minutes played. The lone exception came on October 8 against the Knicks, when he logged 3.6 minutes and scored 3 points in a win. Washington beat Detroit and New York but lost to New Orleans and Brooklyn to open the year. Gill isn't hurt. He's simply not getting on the floor yet, a sharp drop from the role he held last season.
02What He Brought Last SeasonLast season Gill played 55 games for Washington, averaging 17.3 minutes with 5.8 points and 2.9 rebounds.
Last season Gill played 55 games for Washington, averaging 17.3 minutes with 5.8 points and 2.9 rebounds. He shot 62.8 percent from the field and 35.4 percent from three, numbers that made him an efficient small-sample weapon even if his plus-minus sat at minus-5.3. The team re-signed him over the summer, a move confirmed in September reporting, and he remains on the roster at age 34 heading into his seventh season out of Virginia.
