The Washington Wizards travel to face the Sacramento Kings on Friday, January 16, at 10:00 p.m. ET at the Golden 1 Center, with both teams carrying significant injury concerns. Washington has lost four straight games, sitting at 10-29, while Sacramento has won three consecutive contests, holding an 11-30 record.
The Wizards will be without Bilal Coulibaly (lower back stiffness), Khris Middleton (right knee), Tristan Vukcevic (left knee soreness), Cam Whitmore (right shoulder DVT), Trae Young (right knee MCL sprain and quad contusion), and Sharife Cooper (two-way G League assignment).
These absences leave Washington relying on Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr to carry scoring and playmaking duties.
Sacramento also faces injury challenges. Keegan Murray is out with a left ankle sprain, Daeqwon Plowden is on a two-way G League assignment, and Domantas Sabonis is questionable with a partial meniscus tear in his left knee.
The Kings will depend on DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Russell Westbrook to sustain their three-game winning streak.
