VERNON CAREY JR. NEWS

Ruled out Tuesday Carey (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Pistons.

Impact The second-year center presumably picked up the injury while playing Monday for the G League's Capital City Go-Go. Carey has appeared in just one NBA game since Dec. 10, so his latest absence due to injury shouldn't impact the Wizards' rotation.

Dealing with bruised hip The Wizards list Carey as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons with a right hip contusion.

Impact Carey hasn't been part of the Wizards' rotation after being acquired from the Hornets on Feb. 10, appearing in just one of Washington's six games since and playing one minute in total. The second-year center presumably picked up the injury while playing Monday for the G League's Capital City Go-Go, as he logged only six minutes in a 114-105 win over the Cleveland Charge. Even if Carey is cleared to suit up for the Wizards in advance of the 7 p.m. ET tipoff, he likely won't be used in a competitive game.
