Will Riley Earns First NBA Start for Wizards on Saturday

Will Riley is set to make his first NBA start for the Washington Wizards against the Hornets on Saturday. With Kris Middleton (foot) sidelined, the rookie first-rounder steps into the starting lineup. Riley has averaged 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 0.9 assists over 18.6 minutes per game in his last nine outings, and this opportunity could help him earn a larger role in the Wizards' rotation.
