What happened
Washington will not have No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa for Wednesday’s season opener against Milwaukee because of a sprained ankle, pushing his NBA debut back at least to Friday.
Dybantsa hurt the ankle in last Friday’s preseason finale against New Orleans, left for evaluation, and head coach Brian Keefe said he is day-to-day after taking part in shooting work and Tuesday practice.
His absence keeps the Wizards’ opening-night rotation uncertain on the wing and delays the first look at the top pick. Friday’s home game against Toronto is the next possible return point, but his status is still day-to-day.
