Nobody will be more happy to find that the preseason end compared to the Washington Wizards; if it had gone on any longer, they’d have run out of healthy bodies entirely.
Together with Martell Webster on the shelf following his third back surgery in four seasons, the injuries just kept coming.
Bradley Beal fractured his wrist, Glen Rice Jr. wrapped his ankle, Kris Humphries ripped open his arm on the rim (since when are those things sharp?) , requiring surgery. John Wall was limited with knee tendinitis.
The Wizards’ oldest player was able to live the display record unscathed. Paul Pierce, set to begin at small forward for the Wiz, offered some veteran perspective on the parade into the trainer’s table, per Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post:”It’s been tough. It’s been challenging. We haven’t had a complete squad most of the preseason. The key is understanding it is a long season. The key is to get healthy.”
If the collective swelling recedes and the stitches hold, Washington can nevertheless make good on the lofty expectations it set last season. Forty-four wins got people thinking in D.C., and now the Wizards face a world in which anything less than a top-four seed will constitute a disappointment.
