No. 1 pick Dybantsa to have ankle checked after leaving preseason finale
Key Points
First overall pick AJ Dybantsa exited the Washington Wizards' preseason finale Friday after injuring his ankle on an awkward landing and will undergo further evaluation. Wizards coach Brian Keefe told sideline reporter Chase Hughes that Dybantsa had suffered a mild ankle sprain but that the decision to keep him out for the rest of the game was more precautionary. "We'll look at it more when we get more information," Keefe said.
