Kristaps Porzingis (left groin strain) went through his full pre-game warmup routine and looked good even though he will not play tonight vs. Mavs.
Wes Unseld Jr. described the injury sustained at Hornets on Monday as day-to-day. – 6:38 PM

The best 10 game starts to a season (scoring wise) since 1970. This season’s start for Luka Dončić is 5th on the list, 348 points through the first 10 games. pic.twitter.com/6olkebX0kI6:34 PM

Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jason Kidd pre-game was the most forceful about needing to decrease Luka Doncic’s exorbitant usage rate as I’ve seen:
“If we keep this up, then he will not be human if he gets past Christmas. So one or the other is going to show: He’s human or not, and we believe he’s human.” – 6:15 PM

Dwain Price @DwainPrice
J-Kidd on Luka: “The big thing is he’s from a different planet. He makes the game look so easy, it’s at a different speed. He’s not afraid of the moment, he loves the competition and no matter who’s out there on the floor with him he believes he can find a way to win.” – 6:07 PM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
For Mavs at Wizards tonight, Kristaps Porzingis will miss his first game of the year for Washington with a left groin strain. Bradley Beal is out for a 3rd straight game in health and safety protocols. Christian Wood is out for the Mavs with a left knee sprain. 6p, BSSW – 6:01 PM

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: KP is out tonight. – 5:47 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
Asked Jason Kidd about Luka’s insane usage rate to start the season. It’s a concern. “People will say he’s 23,” Kidd said. “But, he’s human.” At this rate, Kidd said, Dončić may hit a physical/mental wall around Christmas. – 5:46 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
With Kristaps Porzingis and Taj Gibson both out tonight, and with this opponent, Wes Unseld Jr. said this game is shaping up to be a small-ball game. So there isn’t a guarantee that Vernon Carey Jr. will play significant minutes tonight. – 5:40 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
One minute preview of Wizards-Mavs (7 pm on @NBCSWashington). No Beal and no Porzingis. Luka Doncic is playing, though.

The Wizards will be without 40% of their offense tonight against the Mavericks with Beal and Porzingis OUT. The question is, who will fill in for the scoring? That’s what I’ll be watching for. #DCAboveAll5:37 PM
Callie Caplan @CallieCaplan
Jason Kidd, post-Magic, pre-Wizards: “It’s really simple. There is no trickery to this. We’re getting a lot of open shots, and we’re not making them.” – 5:37 PM
Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
Wes Unseld Jr. declined to reveal his starting lineup with Kristaps Porzingis out but mentioned small ball lineups will see the court.
Could Rui Hachimura start at center 🤔 – 5:34 PM

“He’s not a guy you can really speed up. He pretty much dictates what he wants.” — Wes Unseld Jr. on Luka – 5:29 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Kristaps Porzingis’ availability is considered day-to-day, Wes Unseld Jr. said. Porzingis will not play tonight because of a groin strain. – 5:28 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
“It’s important for us to embrace that challenge. I think the biggest thing is for us not to give him a steady diet of the same thing. He’s just too good.” — Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. on guarding Luka – 5:28 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
The Wizards are super thin at the 5 tonight with Taj Gibson also out with a neck strain. – 5:25 PM
Dwain Price @DwainPrice
Kristaps Porzingis (groin) and Bradley Beal (health and safety protocols) will not play tonight against the @Dallas Mavericks. Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said KP came in this morning and worked out and just wasn’t moving well. – 5:25 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Also out for the Wizards: Taj Gibson (neck strain). – 5:24 PM

Kristaps Porzingis is OUT tonight vs. Dallas with a groin strain. He was injured in Charlotte – 5:23 PM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
I think this an unpopular opinion but here goes: I think Myles Turner and Buddy Hield make way more sense for the Lakers than Bradley Beal.
One star does not fix this. The Lakers need shooting and defense. But the Lakers care more about famous people than having a coherent team. – 4:39 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The statuses of Johnny Davis and Vernon Carey Jr. have been changed on the Wizards’ injury report. Initially listed as on assignment in the G League, both are now listed as available for tonight’s game against the Mavs. Davis is getting some shots up now at Capital One Arena. – 4:38 PM

Neil Dalal @NeilDalal96
My guess for Kristaps Porzingis’s left groin strain that now has him questionable is he will be a game-time decision. His typical pre-game warmups finish by ~6:15 pm.
In his first game vs. Mavs after the trade last season, he had an important 24p-7r-9a-2s without Beal or Kuzma. – 2:55 PM
