Jordan Poole Out for Wizards with Left-Hip Contusion

Jordan Poole of the Washington Wizards is dealing with a left-hip contusion. He will not take the court for the team. This injury was first noted on December 27, 2024. His status has been updated to ‘out’ after being questionable earlier.

What It Means

This means Jordan Poole will miss some playing time. He has been an important player for the Wizards this season. Poole averages 21.3 points per game and makes 3.5 three-pointers per game, shooting at a rate of 40.7% from beyond the arc.

The Wizards might need to rely more on Malcolm Brogdon and Jared Butler in his absence. Brogdon, who plays as a shooting guard, averages 14.2 points per game. The team will have to adjust their strategy without their top point guard.
