OKC Thunder: Steven Adams, Nerlens Noel late scratches for Wizards game

Thunder centers Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel will not play Sunday against the Wizards.

Both were late scratches.

Adams (left lower leg contusion) went through pregame warmups but was still feeling sore, per a Thunder spokesman. Adams was expected to play Sunday after sitting out Friday.

Noel will miss the game due to a right ankle injury.

Without its top two centers, Mike Muscala is likely to earn his first start with the Thunder. Muscala missed the last two games after sustaining a concussion, but he recently passed concussion protocol.

Darius Bazley and Kevin Hervey are other options to play center.
