Justin Anderson (flu) returned for the Pacers match but Dewayne Dedmon (left knee soreness) was still out of the lineup and listed as questionable for this match.
Longer term injuries were sustained by Kent Bazemore (sprained right ankle) and Taurean Prince (left ankle ligament sprain, soft tissue inflammation, bone bruise) are expected out until early and mid-January respectively.
Washington Wizards
With news John Wall is done for the season it will be interesting if Washington elects to have a fire sale or push for the squad to try to get into the playoffs without him.
Bradley Beal and the newly acquired Trevor Ariza will be tasked with carrying the load if the Wizards decide to go for it. In the first game since Wall’s injury news, the duo took charge as leaders on the floor.

Otto Porter Jr.’s health also remains an issue as he’s missed the last 10 games due to a grade 2 knee sprain, however he’s listed as probable to play this game.
Markieff Morris missed the last two games with an upper back injury and neck stiffness and his status is uncertain for Wednesday.) Dwight Howard (back) is expected to return in late February.
Wall’s heel surgery and recovery are expected to take between six and eight months to heel.
