No. 1 Pick AJ Dybantsa ankle to Sit Out Season Opener
AJ Dybantsa will miss the Wizards’ season opener against the Raptors this Friday. Head coach Brian Keefe said the ankle injury is day-to-day and doesn’t expect him to be out long. The top pick got hurt in the preseason finale. In four preseason games, he averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals. His standout moment was against the Pistons with 14 points and seven rebounds. Keefe thinks it’s a minor issue, and the team is taking it easy. NBA.com will keep you updated as the story unfolds.
