Wizards forward Rui Hachimura will miss approximately three weeks with bi-lateral epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), which is an eye infection.
Hachimura was diagnosed with EKC on December 16 and missed the Wizards’ final two preseason games.
The big Wizards news heading into the new season is the recent trade that sent John Wall to the Rockets for point guard Russell Westbrook.
Westbrook and shooting guard Bradley Beal form one of the most talented backcourts in the NBA. On paper, of course. Now comes chemistry development.
The Wizards also re-signed shooter Davis Bertans, and drafted talented rookie Deni Avdija.
