Andrew Nembhard Ruled Out for Friday's Game vs. Wizards with Back Issue

Andrew Nembhard (back) has been officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Washington Wizards. He was initially listed as doubtful due to a back issue, with the team reportedly looking to rest him during the second leg of a back-to-back set. His absence will lead to elevated roles for T.J. McConnell, who has been cleared to return, and Kam Jones. Nembhard's next opportunity to play is Sunday against Dallas.
