The Washington Wizards are already one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, and their April 9 injury report made things even worse. With eight players officially listed as Out ahead of their home game against the Chicago Bulls, Washington is heading into this matchup severely shorthanded.
This brutal report raises serious questions about who will step up and whether the Wizards can even put up a fight.

Who Steps Up for the Wizards Tonight
Washington will mostly rely on its young, small rotation as its main players, as Trae Young, Alex Sarr, and D’Angelo Russell won’t be playing.
The young guard Bub Carrington is the primary man – he scored 14 points and delivered seven assists in just 32 minutes during Washington’s last game versus Chicago on April 7, and he will again be the leader of the offense.
Julian Reese is the one who will hold the frontcourt strongly since he achieved 17 points and 11 rebounds, which is a double-double in the same game.
