Raul Neto Will Sit Out On Friday Night

Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) will not play on Friday against the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old has missed his previous three games already while working his way back from a groin issue. In his stead, Ish Smith should continue to see an uptick in minutes, serving as relief for Russell Westbrook.
