Friday vs Milwaukee is canceled.

Beal had mentioned that it was an injury risk to play with so few players.

Yeah, Brooks said the same thing - that because they only have 8 players and that practicing isn't the same as playing - so there's a bigger chance of injury when these world class athletes play, but at some point - ya gotta play a basketball game - rather than the game of "Which came first - the chicken or the egg?" Taken to an extreme, their logic would lead to never playing.

Reportedly, Avdija, Bertans, Brown, Hachimura, Ish and Wagner are out due to protocols. Bryant is out due to injury, and Westbrook is questionable, I guess.

How many does that leave? I count 7:

PG Neto
SG Beal/Mathews
SF Bonga/Robinson
PF Gill
C Lopez

But they're saying we have 8. Are they assuming Westbrook will play? Or are we going to add someone to replace Pasecniks?

Cassius Winston. Man, it would be... quite something if they had to play with those dudes. :D

If they just had one more big man, either Hachimura or Wagner, they could still field a fairly effective team. But this team is going to get dominated in the paint.

Justin Patton or Alex Len along with Winston.

Play Mathews as many minutes as possible. Isaac Bongo really could shine if given a chance.

Ruzious, I agree they need to suit up (once they add at least one big man).

Didn't know where to put this, but since it relates to fielding a full roster, I put it here:

The fact that Bell is only on a ten day makes me think they should consider Justin Patton if Bell doesn’t stick.

I’m ecstatic over Len and Bell together. Quality big men IMO. Patton is better than both I think.

Neto also injured his groin so Winston is going to most likely play.
Wizards may also have to play Beal or Bonga at point guard.
