On Saturday night, the Wizards took the court against the Bulls with seven players out due to health and safety protocols, the third-consecutive game at least five players were listed as such on Washington’s availability report.
As key contributors have come in and out of the lineup in recent weeks, the Wizards – as well as the other 29 teams around the NBA – have depended on fill-in players with diverse backgrounds and varying career experience to keep their season moving along as scheduled. The Washington front office has pulled out all the stops, utilizing two-way player Joel Ayayi; calling up Capital City Go-Go players Jaime Echenique, Jordan Goodwin, Jordan Schakel and Craig Sword; and signing Alize Johnson, Brad Wanamaker and Tremont Waters from outside the organization.
