Won't play Wednesday
Reese (two-way) won't play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
Reese will be held out of a second straight game as the Wizards look to preserve his eligibility for the remainder of the season while he's signed to a two-way deal. He'll be eligible to suit up in all of Washington's final six games after Wednesday.

Inactive Monday
Reese (two-way) won't play in Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis
Reese was part of the starting lineup and played 39 minutes in Sunday's 123-88 loss to Portland, but he'll be held out of Monday's contest as the Wizards aim to preserve his eligibility for the remainder of the season. While he remains signed to a two-way deal, Reese will be able to play in six of the Wizards' remaining seven games after Monday.

Starting Sunday
Reese will start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Reese was held out of Friday's game against the Warriors because Alex Sarr (toe) was available. With Sarr out Sunday, Reese will return to action in the starting lineup. Reese has scored in double figures in each of his last three starts and posted double-doubles in two of those games.

Sitting out Friday
Reese (two-way) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis
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.
Analysis
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.
