Neal Unable to Shake Leg Injury

The injury is one that has been bothering Neal for some time. He missed a Jan. 28 game against the Denver Nuggets then returned in a limited capacity for the next five contests, averaging just 14 minutes, well below his season average of 20.2 minutes.

In his first season with the Wizards, the sixth-year veteran has been one of the team’s top options off the bench and is shooting a career-best 46.5 percent from the field.

Because the Wizards have depth at the point with All-Star John Wall and Ramon Sessions, they're wisely being cautious with the guard’s recovery.
