Paves way to victory

George led the way for Washington in the scoring department, though it clearly wasn't his most efficient showing, as he needed 24 attempts from the field to reach 23 points. He also managed to contribute outside of the scoring column, dishing out five assists for a second straight game while accounting for two of the Wizards' eight steals.

Snags 17 boards

Sarr dominated the boards for the Wizards and secured seven of his 17 rebounds on the offensive glass. He also enjoyed an efficient shooting night, resulting in his second consecutive double-double. While Sarr wasn't able to replicate the six blocks he recorded Tuesday against the Blazers, he swatted away two more shots Thursday, tying Bilal Coulibaly for the team high in blocks.

Won't return Thursday

Johnson appeared to roll his left ankle after landing on Ryan Rollins' foot on a jump shot, with the former checking out of the game at the 8:05 mark in the second quarter. The injury is severe enough for Johnson that the rookie first-rounder will not return to Thursday's game, and he'll finish with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two assists over 11 minutes. Bub Carrington was on the floor for the Wizards to open the second half and should see a significant increase in minutes in Johnson's absence.
