Injury Report
Washington Wizards
- Out: Anthony Davis (PF, hand/groin; out for season), Cam Whitmore (F, blood clot/shoulder; out for season), Trae Young (G, knee/hamstring/quadriceps; out through All-Star break), Tre Johnson (G, ankle; no timetable), D’Angelo Russell (G, not with team post-trade), Jaden Hardy (G, rest/not with team), Tristan Vukcevic (C, knee), Marvin Bagley III (F, illness), Dante Exum (G, knee).
- Questionable: Alex Sarr (C, ankle/calf), Bilal Coulibaly (F, back), Kyshawn George (F, ankle/knee), Anthony Gill (F, hand).
- Note: The Wizards are severely depleted, missing key veterans and young talent, which has contributed to their poor form.
Cleveland Cavaliers (As of February 10, 2026):
- Out: Evan Mobley (C, calf strain; out at least one week), Max Strus (G, foot surgery; out at least four more weeks), Dean Wade (F, ankle sprain), Emanuel Miller (F, G League/two-way).
- Questionable: Jaylon Tyson (F, ankle sprain), Tyrese Proctor (G, illness), Tristan Enaruna (G, G League), Craig Porter Jr. (G, knee soreness).
- Note: Cleveland is missing frontcourt depth with Mobley out, but their backcourt led by Donovan Mitchell remains intact.
These injuries significantly favor the Cavaliers, as the Wizards’ extensive absences leave them undermanned.
Key Player Matchups
- Donovan Mitchell (Cavaliers SG) vs. Wizards Backcourt (e.g., Bub Carrington or Kyshawn George): Mitchell has been scorching, scoring 48 points in a December win over Washington.
With Young out, the Wizards lack a perimeter defender—expect Mitchell to dominate with 30+ points.
- Jarrett Allen (Cavaliers C) vs. Alex Sarr (Wizards C): Allen anchors Cleveland’s defense; Sarr, if available, faces a tough test but could exploit mismatches if healthy.
- CJ McCollum (Wizards SG) vs. Cleveland Guards (e.g., James Harden or Tyrese Proctor): McCollum leads Washington in scoring at 18.8 PPG.
If Harden plays, this could be a high-scoring duel, but Cleveland’s depth gives them the edge.
- Georges Niang (Cavaliers PF) vs. Bilal Coulibaly (Wizards F): With Mobley out, Niang steps up; Coulibaly, if cleared, provides athleticism but Wizards’ frontcourt is thin without Davis.
