Top draft pick AJ Dybantsa to miss the season opener for Wizards with a sprained ankle
Top draft pick AJ Dybantsa will be sidelined for the Wizards' season opener due to a sprained ankle, according to the Washington Post. The rookie, selected first overall by the Wizards from BYU, will not play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night. Coach Brian Keefe confirmed that Dybantsa's condition is "day to day". Despite adding veteran players Trae Young and Anthony Davis in the past season, Davis returned to the team this year.
The Wizards' hopes have been boosted by these signings, but Dybantsa's debut will have to wait. The team faces Toronto in a home game on Friday night.
