The Washington Wizards are preparing to face the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, but their roster may be impacted due to several injuries. Key player Jordan Poole is listed as questionable because of a hip contusion, while second-year guard Bilal Coulibaly is also uncertain to play due to a non-Covid illness. Both players' statuses are crucial as the Wizards look to build on their performance against the Pelicans, whom they faced last Friday.

In addition to Poole and Coulibaly, the Wizards will be without Saddiq Bey, who is dealing with a torn ACL, and Marvin Bagley III, nursing a knee sprain, both of whom are out indefinitely. On the other hand, the Pelicans are facing their own injury challenges, with All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray questionable due to elbow soreness and notable absences including Brandon Ingram, Karlo Matkovic, and Zion Williamson.
