Sitting Monday with ankle sprain
Black is listed out for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a left ankle sprain.
Analysis
Black won't be available for the front end of the Wizards' back-to-back set after he presumably sustained the injury during his team debut Thursday, when he played 30 minutes in a 126-96 loss to the Hawks. The third-year forward recently signed a two-way deal with Washington and will be eligible to suit up for 14 more games at the NBA level through the end of the season.

Sitting out Saturday
Black (two-way) is listed out for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
After signing a two-way deal with Washington last week, Black made his Wizards debut in the team's most recent game Thursday, logging four points (2-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds and two blocks over 30 minutes in a 126-96 loss to the Hawks. Black is eligible to play in only 14 of Washington's remaining 24 contests, so the Wizards will opt to preserve some of his eligibility by holding him out Saturday. Most of his minutes will likely be absorbed by Kyshawn George (knee), who is set to return to action after missing Thursday's contest.
