The Washington Wizards have been plagued by injuries frequently this season, and the pain continued into the first half against the Charlotte Hornets.

With just under two minutes left in the second quarter, Jordan Poole tried to extend Washington’s double-digit lead.

However, Poole’s left hip collided with Hornets forward Brandon Miller, causing him to grimace and favor that part of his body.

Poole exited the game a few possessions later and entered the locker room with just under a minute left in the second quarter.

The injury looked painful, so his ability to return in the second half is questionable.

Poole was the team’s leading scorer this season, averaging 21.2 points per game and had 14 in the first half to lead the Wizards.

Should Poole sit in the second half, the Wizards would have to find other ways to add value on the offensive side of the ball. Poole’s teammates will all have to pitch in to make sure his presence is covered.

At the end of the first half, the Wizards were ahead 68-54.
