The Washington Wizards face a setback with Malcolm Brogdon's injury, now classified as a plantar fascia contusion. This change signifies a potentially lengthy recovery, as healing times vary significantly, and there is currently no defined timetable for his return.

His situation worsens the Wizards' injury woes, as they also miss Saddiq Bey and Marvin Bagley III due to long-term knee injuries and Tristan Vukcevic with an ankle issue. Meanwhile, there is hope for the return of Jordan Poole, Richaun Holmes, and others who are dealing with minor injuries.
