Washington Wizards — Portland Trail Blazers: анонс і статистика гравців (26 груд. 2026 р.)

Head coach Micah Nori said Morant met with a doctor in Los Angeles, who gave him a positive outlook on his recovery from the hamstring injury. While Nori declined to update Morant's timetable, he added Morant "may not be out for as long as we thought," Trail Blazers Insider Sean Highkin reports. Morant was initially given a four-week timetable after he suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain on Oct. 30. It sounds like he's making solid progress, though it would be surprising to see him beat that timetable given the tricky nature of hamstring injuries. Scoot Henderson will continue to start in his absence and there will be more minutes available for Jrue Holiday.

Sharpe suffered a torn meniscus in his knee and is expected to miss six months, per Shams Charania of ESPN. It's a tough blow to the Trail Blazers' depth on the wing ahead of training camp. Sharpe, who is now likely to be sidelined until after the All-Star break, had been ticketed for a reserve role behind Toumani Camara following an injury-plagued 2025-26 campaign, which saw average a career-high 20.8 points, 1.4 steals and 2.1 three-pointers per game over 50 regular-season appearances. The door is now open for Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan to compete for bench minutes during camp.

Krejci underwent surgery on his fractured left ankle Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in eight weeks, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports. Krejci suffered the ankle injury in last Wednesday's win over the Suns and is set to miss an extended period after undergoing surgery. With the 26-year-old and Ja Morant (hamstring) both on the shelf, Jrue Holiday and Sidy Cissoko should continue seeing increased minutes.

Youngblood (foot) is out for Friday's game against Sacramento. Youngblood is in line for a second straight absence due to a bone bruise in his right foot. His next opportunity to run the floor will arrive Monday in Minnesota.

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.
