Jordan Goodwin is ineligible to play again for the Wizards until his two-way contract is converted to a standard deal, Josh Robbins of The Athletic tweets.
Goodwin has been on the Wizards’ active list for 50 of their games, the league limit for a two-way player. The team must create a spot on its 15-man roster to add Goodwin. Washington should have an opening soon — the club is working on a buyout agreement with Will Barton.
We have more from the Wizards:
- After dealing Rui Hachimura to the Lakers, the Wizards were quiet prior to the trade deadline. Bradley Beal is ready to ride out the season with the current group, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington writes. “Now this is our team,” Beal said. “You can’t make any adjustments now, you’ve gotta ride it out throughout the rest of the year. We’ve got 25-plus left, so we’ve gotta really strap ’em up, lace ’em on, go out and compete.”
- Beal has been fined $25K by the league for making contact with a game official, the NBA’s PR department tweets. The incident occurred during the third quarter of Washington’s 127-113 victory over the Pacers on Saturday.
- Kyle Kuzma was sidelined on Monday for the fourth straight game with a left ankle sprain, Marc J. Spears of ESPN tweets. Washington is at Golden State to start a three-game road swing before the All-Star break.
