With 8:05 left in the second quarter of Thursday’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks, Tre Johnson was replaced by Kyshawn George. A few minutes earlier, Johnson hoisted a step-back jumper near the left baseline but injured his ankle on the landing after the closeout by Ryan Rollins. Johnson has now been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Bilal Coulibaly started the second half for Johnson.
Prior to exiting, Johnson contributed eight points and two assists in 11 minutes of action. Bub Carrington would likely be the biggest beneficiary with Johnson sidelined.
Washington has a back-to-back tomorrow against the Los Angeles Lakers then host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
