Washington Wizards / Schedule
The five-man group had an average age of just 20.64 years, featuring rookie Will Riley (19) making his first career start alongside Alex Sarr (20), Kyshawn George (22), Tre Johnson (19), and Bub Carrington (20).
This lineup wasn't entirely by choice. The Wizards were missing seven players, including Khris Middleton, who sat out with a left foot injury.
The team entered the game in Charlotte with a 10-33 record. Help could come in the form of newcomer Trae Young, though his availability remains uncertain as he rehabs a sprained right knee and bruised quadriceps.
