Wizards without Gooden, Nene, Anderson, Humphries vs. Pelicans
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports
The Washington Wizards will have to turn once again to their smallball lineup as three key rotational bigs might be absent Friday against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Power forwards Nene, Drew Gooden, and Kris Humphries will all sit out, the team announced.
Nene and Gooden are dealing with calf strains and opted not to travel with the team. Humphries did travel, but he's still feeling the effects of an ankle injury that sidelined him for Wednesday's loss to the Houston Rockets.
Washington will also be without shooting guard Alan Anderson as he's battling an ankle sprain.
The struggling Wizards are just 3-7 over their last 10 games.
