Available Wednesday
Branham (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis
Branham will shed his questionable tag due to right calf soreness and suit up against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old guard has logged double-digit minutes in three of his last five appearances, averaging 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 52.6 percent from the field in 11.2 minutes per game during that stretch.

Iffy for Wednesday
Branham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness.
Analysis
Branham could test out his calf during Wednesday's pregame warmups before the Wizards decide whether he'll be available for action. The guard has played at least 20 minutes just once in his last five appearances, so his status may not have a significant impact on the Washington rotation.

Cleared to face Memphis
Branham (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Branham was labeled questionable on Washington's initial injury report due to a sprained thumb. However, he's been given the green light Sunday. The 22-year-old guard is a fringe rotation piece for the Wizards, but he could see some more action due to the absence of Kyshawn George (hip).

Iffy for Sunday
Branham (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Branham is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to the same sprained thumb that cost him three games earlier this month. However, his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Washington rotation.
