About three hours before the Wizards took the floor Saturday night to play the Heat, the team announced guard Russell Westbrook would miss the contest with left quad soreness.
About two hours later, Washington coach Scott Brooks learned guard Bradley Beal would also be unavailable — caught in the web of the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
And then just two minutes into Saturday’s matchup, center Thomas Bryant fell to the floor, clutching his knee and pounding the court. Washington announced Sunday Bryant had suffered a season-ending partially torn ACL.
