Wizards announce F Kyshawn George has a partially torn UCL in his left elbow

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Washington Wizards announced Wednesday that forward Kyshawn George partially tore the UCL in his left elbow Monday against Houston.

The team says the 22-year-old George will be re-evaluated in three weeks.

George, a first-round draft pick in 2024, has started all 48 games he has appeared in this season. He’s averaging 14.8 points and shooting 38% from 3-point range.

The Wizards host Utah on Thursday night in what is expected to be newly acquired point guard Trae Young’s debut with Washington after he was traded from Atlanta in January.

Peterson, Dybantsa, Boozer and Wilson wait to see who goes first in the NBA draft

CHICAGO (AP) — Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa had an epic showdown in high school, crossed paths in college and could be the top two picks in this year's NBA draft after starring at Kansas and BYU. That's if Duke's Cameron Boozer and North Carolina's Caleb Wilson don't have something to say about it. All four are considered potential stars and a clear cut above the rest in a loaded draft class. What remains to be seen is the order they will be taken. The Washington Wizards hold the No. 1 pick for the first time since they drafted John Wall in 2010. Utah, Memphis and Chicago round out the top four. “It would mean a lot,” Dybantsa said Wednesday at the NBA draft combine of being picked first. “It would just mean that all my hard work is paying off. All the countless hours and all the sacrifices I made have paid off.”
