Marvin Bagley III will miss Thursday’s game against the Nuggets due to illness, leaving the Wizards without a true backup center. With Tristan Vukcevic also sidelined, Jamir Watkins could step in for backup duties, while Khris Middleton may see increased minutes at power forward. The Nuggets face a similar predicament with their centers also out, potentially minimizing the impact of Bagley’s absence.
