"Washington has their sights set on proving that not only can they be better than last season, but they could be a sleeper in a wide open Eastern Conference this season. Wednesday's battle against a Bucks team who enter the season as top contenders will give them the opportunity to start the season off with a win over a playoff caliber team."
"The guard's inability to leave the court under his own power and the replay of the injury mixed with how quickly Washington ruled him out suggested the former lottery pick could not only miss the opener, but an extended period of time. Nonetheless, the playmaker managed to put those fears to rest returning to practice rather quickly and after originally being listed as questionable, he now finds himself off the injury report which puts him in line to start on Wednesday night."
The Washington Wizards open their regular season on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Washington aims to improve on last season and could be a sleeper in a wide-open Eastern Conference. The Bucks enter the season as top contenders, presenting an opportunity for the Wizards to begin with a win over a playoff-caliber team. Bilal Coulibaly was ruled out while recovering from an offseason thumb injury suffered during FIBA EuroBasket play. Bub Carrington and rookie Will Riley are both expected to play after recovering from a knee injury and an ankle sprain, respectively. The team will likely use the same starting lineup.
