Monte Morris - Coming off bench WednesdayMorris isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Atlanta, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
ImpactDelon Wright will continue to start in Morris' place after Morris missed the previous seven games with a back injury. However, Morris started his first 51 appearances this season, so he certainly may be reinserted into the top unit in upcoming contests.

Delon Wright - Remains in starting lineupWright will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ImpactMonte Morris (back) has been cleared to return following a six-game absence, but he'll come off the bench for the first time this season, as Wright remains in the starting lineup for a seventh consecutive contest. Over his past six starts, Wright has averaged 10.2 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals in 32.2 minutes.

Monte Morris - Available WednesdayMorris (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
ImpactMorris has missed six straight games due to back soreness but will return to action Wednesday. He's started all 51 of his appearances this season, so he'll presumably slide back into his usual role, which would push Delon Wright to the bench.

Isaiah Stewart - Out again ThursdayStewart (hip) will not take the floor Thursday versus the Hornets.
ImpactStewart is scheduled for his sixth consecutive absence Thursday, and there is no clear timeline for his return to action. His next theoretical opportunity to suit up arrives Saturday versus the Pacers. Marvin Bagley, James Wiseman and Isaiah Livers should continue to log additional minutes in his absence.

Bojan Bogdanovic - Remains out against CharlotteBogdanovic (Achilles) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Pistons.
ImpactBogdanovic will miss his fourth straight game Thursday with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy. Isaiah Livers and Marvin Bagley will likely receive extended minutes in his absence. Bogdanovic's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Indiana, although he could sit out the remainder of the season.
