Wizards' AJ Dybantsa ruled out again due to ankle sprain

Washington Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsa will miss his fourth consecutive game on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets due to a left ankle sprain. Dybantsa suffered the injury during the preseason finale against the New Orleans Pelicans on October 16, landing awkwardly on the court. Although he has participated in practice this week, he remains day-to-day, according to coach Brian Keefe. Dybantsa averaged 12.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.5 steals during the preseason, contributing to a young core that includes veterans Anthony Davis and Trae Young. The Wizards, currently 2-1, will conclude their three-game road trip on Wednesday in Cleveland.
