George Out Sunday vs. Grizzlies with Left Hip Flexor Soreness

Washington Wizards F Kyshawn George has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies due to left hip flexor soreness. This absence marks the front end of Washington's back-to-back set. George's next opportunity to play will be Monday against Phoenix. With the second-year swingman sidelined, Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie are the most likely candidates to step into the starting five, while Tre Johnson and Will Riley may also see an uptick in playing time for the Wizards.
