Nene Hilario: Could be out two more weeks
Coach Randy Wittman said Sunday that Hilario (calf) was about "three-to-four days to two weeks" away from playing again, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis:
Both Hilario and Drew Gooden have been battling long-term calf injuries, and while the duo was able to practice Sunday, it wasn't in a full capacity. As a result, coach Randy Wittman has already ruled Hilario out for Monday's game against the Clippers, and it looks like the veteran big man will sit out at least a few more contest beyond that while the Wizards continue to evaluate him. Hilario's uncertain return date and likely bench role upon his activation makes it hard to justify holding him in most formats.
