Sitting out Friday
Reese (two-way) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analyse
After Reese delivered an impressive line (26 points, 17 rebounds, one block and one steal in 30 minutes) during a spot start in a 133-110 win over the Jazz on Wednesday, the Wizards will opt to keep the rookie big man inactive Friday with Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) returning from two- and one-game absences, respectively. Due to the timing of his signing a two-way deal with the Wizards, Reese is eligible to suit up for just 13 games at the NBA level. Since he's already been active for six games, Reese will be able to play in seven of the Wizards' remaining nine contests after Friday.

Turns in 26-17 game in spot start
Reese generated 26 points (12-16 FG, 2-4 FT), 17 rebounds, one steal and one block across 30 minutes Wednesday in the Wizards' 133-110 win over the Jazz.
Analyse
Suiting up for just the second time in nine games, Reese moved into the starting five and took on major minutes as the Wizards' top center while Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) were unavailable. Reese proceeded to have his way in the paint against a Jazz squad that didn't start a traditional center, establishing a new career high in scoring while falling three boards shy from matching the personal-best total he had recorded in his third NBA game back on March 5, which also came against Utah. Though Reese is now averaging 12.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 65.1 percent from the field through six appearances with the Wizards, his limited availability as a two-way player makes it difficult to justify rostering him. Unless Washington converts him to a standard contract, Reese will be eligible to play in seven of the Wizards' remaining 10 games.

Starting Wednesday
Reese is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Analyse
Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) are sidelined, leaving a spot open in the starting lineup for Reese. In his four other starts this season, Reese averaged 10.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.8 minutes, though those numbers are inflated by an 18-point, 20-rebound outburst.

Not available Sunday
Reese (two-way) is listed out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analyse
Washington had already ruled out eight other players out for Sunday's contest -- including center Alex Sarr (toe) -- but Reese will remain inactive for a fourth consecutive game while the Wizards intend to get by with just nine available players. After Sunday, Reese will be eligible to play in eight of the Wizards' remaining 11 games while he's signed to a two-way deal.
