The incident occurred after Dybantsa attempted a midrange jump shot. Upon landing, he appeared to roll his left ankle and immediately went to the floor. After a brief period of discomfort, he was able to limp off the court and head directly to the locker room for further assessment, taking no further part in the contest.
Injury status and upcoming schedule
Wizards head coach
While the team is optimistic about the nature of the injury, Keefe confirmed that the organization will conduct a more thorough examination to determine the full extent of the issue. The coach stated that the team expects to have more information regarding his status as they continue their medical review.
Before his premature exit, Dybantsa had made a solid impact on the floor, contributing 12 points during his 15 minutes of play. His availability remains a key point of interest for the franchise as they prepare for the start of the regular season. The Wizards are scheduled to open their campaign this coming Wednesday with a matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks, and the team will be monitoring Dybantsa's recovery closely in the lead-up to that opening night fixture.
