Estatísticas de jogadores e prévia: New Orleans Pelicans x Washington Wizards (5 de abr. de 2027)

Injury/Illness - Illness (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Sarr (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston. Sarr is under the weather and could miss the front end of this back-to-back set. The big man's absence would open up additional minutes for guys like Deandre Ayton, Anthony Gill and Will Riley.

Injury/Illness - Left ACL Repair / Surgery (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-07-30): The Wizards announced Thursday that Watkins has undergone surgery for a torn ACL. Watkins, a two-way player for the Wizards, suffered the injury during the Summer League. Although Washington has yet to offer a timetable for a return, a typical recovery time for the procedure is approximately 9-to-12 months. That leaves Watkins in serious jeopardy of missing most, if not all, of the 2026-27 season, and it remains to be seen if the team will continue keeping him around on a two-way roster spot while he's injured.

Injury/Illness - Right Foot Surgery (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-10-28): Champagnie (foot) is expected to miss several months, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic. The forward underwent surgery Wednesday to address a fractured foot, and the Wizards hope Champagnie will be ready to return at some time around the All-Star break in February. The likes of Bilal Coulibaly, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington will all be asked to help pick up the slack for the foreseeable future.

Injury/Illness - Left Hip Impingement (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-08): Vukcevic (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Detroit. Vukcevic has yet to make his season debut due to a left hip impingement. The big man can be viewed as week-to-week until the Wizards provide an update on his progress.

Injury/Illness - Low Back Soreness (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Johnson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets due to lower-back soreness. Johnson has logged at least 27 minutes in each of Washington's last five games, but a back injury could prevent him from facing Houston on Sunday. If he and Bub Carrington (chest) are both ruled out, Will Riley could play meaningful minutes against the Rockets.

Injury/Illness - Right AC Joint Injury (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-02): The Wizards announced Monday that Beekman sustained a right acromioclavicular joint injury and will be re-evaluated in approximately three weeks. Beekman is set for an extended absence, with his re-evaluation timeline suggesting he could remain sidelined beyond the initial three-week window. The injury further limits Washington's backcourt depth, though Beekman's absence is unlikely to have a significant impact on standard fantasy leagues.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS).

Injury/Illness - Chest / Sternum Contusion (2026-11-15, HOU@WAS). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Carrington (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Houston. Carrington exited Thursday's loss to Detroit with a chest contusion and is now in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the third-year guard is ruled out, Tre Mann and Will Riley could see increased burn, especially if Tre Johnson (back) is also downgraded from questionable to out.

Murphy (knees) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets. Murphy will miss a fourth straight game as he continues to battle bilateral patellar tendinopathy. His next opportunity to return to the court will come Monday against the Warriors. Saddiq Bey should continue to work in an elevated role in the meantime.

Murray (ankle) is out for Friday's game against Memphis. This was the expectation after the star guard requested a trade from the Pelicans earlier Friday. Given his standing with the club, Murray can be tentatively considered doubtful for future contests while New Orleans tries to find him another home.

McGowens (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets. McGowens will miss his second game in as many days while continuing to deal with a left elbow infection. He'll have another chance to return to action Monday against the Warriors.

Mathurin is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to left plantar fasciitis. Mathurin will miss a second game of the Pelicans' last three, leaving New Orleans without a key second-unit scorer. Mathurin is averaging 5.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 15.3 minutes per game so far. His next chance to suit up will come Monday at home against the Warriors.

Watford (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Denver. Watford will miss a fourth consecutive game Saturday due to a right ankle sprain, and it remains unknown how far away he is from returning.
