Kristaps Porzingis - Starting FridayPorzingis (illness) is good to go and starting in Friday's matchup with the Kings.
ImpactPorzingis missed the Wizards' previous game due to an illness and subsequently drew a questionable for Friday's game. However, it looks like he is feeling good enough to give it a go. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.

Delon Wright - Active FridayWright (hamstring) will be available for Friday's game against the Kings.
ImpactWright has been sidelined since late October with a right hamstring strain but is slated to return to the hardwood following the lengthy absence. Considering he hasn't seen game action in nearly two months, Wright will likely be under heavy restrictions Friday. Jordan Goodwin has impressed in Wright's absence and could retain a portion of the backup point guard minutes even when Wright is up to game speed.

Deni Avdija - Questionable again FridayAvdija (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's tilt versus the Kings.
ImpactAvdija held a questionable designation before Thursday's game versus the Jazz as well before being ruled out prior to the opening tip. Look for the team to update his status again closer to the opening tip, with Will Barton and Anthony Gill potentially in line for extra minutes if he sits again.

Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable FridayPorzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.
ImpactPorzingis has missed the last two games due to an illness, but he'll be in the mix to return for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday. If he's held out again, he'll have several days to recover before Washington's next game against Philadelphia on Tuesday.
