Wizards guard Delon Wright is expected to miss three weeks or more with a sprained left knee. Wright exited the Charlotte Hornets matchup after contact with an opponent on the floor during the fourth quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere was an injury to his knee,\u201d Unseld Jr. said postgame. \u201cI don\u2019t know to what extent. It was a play, I think, someone stepped on his foot and there was an impact to the side of the knee to some degree. It raised a little bit of concern for him so he didn\u2019t feel comfortable continuing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the team\u2019s practice on Saturday, Coach Wes Unseld Jr. didn\u2019t have much more information but confirmed his knee was being evaluated. He also noted Wright would not travel to Brooklyn on Sunday or Toronto on Monday for the Wizards next two games<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that the extent of the injury has been revealed, the Wizards released a statement stating that his knee injury will be treated conservatively and will be re-evaluated in three weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After Wright’s departure in Friday’s game, everything went downhill for the Wizards as they let their lead slip away\u00a0in the final four minutes of regulation. When asked about the rotations late in the fourth quarter, Unseld Jr. mentioned that Wright absence impacted his ability to right the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
