The Wizards applied for a disabled player exception for Miles wrist on Monday, indicating they anticipate the swingman to miss the remainder of the season, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. The NBA can award exceptions to teams over the salary cap that require a replacement for a disabled player projected to miss the remainder of the season. It's unclear if the NBA will fulfill the Wizards' request, but in any case, Miles looks unlikely to return at time soon -- if at all -- in Miles underwent surgery on his left wrist last week and is considered out indefinitely.
Miles underwent successful surgery Wednesday to repair ligament damage to his left wrist. The Wizards haven't provided a timeline for Miles' recovery, but the swingman looks like he could be at risk of missing a good portion of what remains of the campaign.
Miles will see a specialist Monday for further examination on his left wrist injury, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
Miles will seek out additional help in assessing what the next steps for his recovery will entail. According to Buckner, however, there's a possibility that the veteran guard will require surgery to repair damaged wrist ligaments, in which case he'd be held out for the remainder of the season.
Look for the team to clarify Miles' timeline at some point after Monday's meeting. In the event he misses extended time, Jordan McRae and Troy Brown are expected to be the main beneficiaries from the added workload.
Miles wrist will be held out for the next two games at a minimum according to coach Scott Brooks. Miles' injury appears to be relatively severe as he's been preemptively ruled out until next Tuesday at the bare minimum.
That said, until the team provides further details, it's difficult to anticipate how much time he'll end up missing in total. Miles has a ligament injury in his left wrist and was ruled out for Wednesday's game at Phoenix, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
Miles apparently sustained the injury during Tuesday's game at Denver. The severity of the injury remains unclear, leaving the year-old's status for Friday's game against the Lakers up in the air. Miles caught fire from behind the arc on his way to a season-high 21 points. It was a good turnaround for the veteran guard, who had failed to score in two of his past three appearances. In his 15th season, Miles finds himself in a steady bench role for the Wizards and is providing 9.
Miles managed 12 points FG, 3Pt, FT , two rebounds, one assist, and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's win over the Pistons. Miles made his season debut following offseason foot surgery and immediately provided a jolt to the team's offense. He's unlikely to warrant much attention outside of deeper formats, but Miles has proven he can fill it up as a scorer even in limited minutes.
Miles is set to make his season debut after responding well to Sunday's practice. He's been sidelined for the first few weeks of the season while finishing up his rehab from offseason foot surgery. Assuming his surgically repaired left foot responded well to the activity, Miles could be cleared to make his season debut Monday against the Pistons.
The year-old swingman is expected to occupy a rotation spot for the Wizards, but probably will struggle to maintain relevance in most fantasy formats unless he consistently clears 25 minutes per game. Click on the different category headings to find out more and change our default settings.
