Washington Wizards interim head coach Brian Keefe told reporters that Jordan Poole was being moved to the bench ahead of Thursday evening's matchup with the Denver Nuggets.
Keefe noted the move was about "helping the group improve as a whole" and that Poole operated at his best with the ball in his hands, running the offense.
"It's actually a credit to Jordan, he's had one of our highest net ratings since I've taken over and I want to see more of that," he added.
