Brook Lopez is set to start against the Wizards on Wednesday, filling in for the injured Ivica Zubac. With Zubac sidelined, Lopez is expected to assume the starting responsibilities, as he has done earlier this season. Additionally, Yanic Konan Niederhäuser will see increased playing time, coming off the bench to support the frontcourt rotation. The decision on Kawhi Leonard’s participation remains pending, as he is listed as a game-time decision.
