Wizards injury report

Washington listed eight players on its injury report. Several key names are out or questionable.

Rotation implications

With Trae Young sidelined, Carrington and Sharife Cooper could take on larger roles. Expect more shot attempts from both guards.

Alex Sarr’s absence opens minutes for Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill. The frontcourt will need to cover additional minutes.

New York listed three players on its injury report. Two notable names are Josh Hart and Landry Shamet.

• Josh Hart is listed as questionable with a right knee injury. He risks missing a second straight contest.
• Landry Shamet is ruled out with right knee soreness after exiting Friday’s game.
• Miles McBride remains sidelined while recovering from core muscle surgery.

Bench adjustments

If Hart does not play, Jordan Clarkson and Mohamed Diawara may see expanded roles. Expect more ball-handling duties from Clarkson.

Shamet’s absence will shift perimeter minutes to other guards. The Knicks must manage spacing without him.
