Jordan Poole Spotted At Shootaround
5 months agoWashington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle), who is officially listed as questionable, was seen at morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. Poole missed his first game of the campaign on Saturday vs. the Atlanta Hawks as a late scratch that came after fantasy lineups were locked in, much to the dismay of season-long and DFS players alike. Poole is experiencing left ankle soreness, but he would appear to be on track to return from a one-game respite with the issue at this stage, barring any setbacks during pregame warmups. The 24-year-old combo guard's struggles have been well-documented in D.C. this year, mostly floundering in a 2023-24 featured role with averages of 17.7 points, 2.0 threes, and 1.1 steals that rank him just inside the top 200 in 9-category leagues. Corey Kispert, who made just 1-of-10 shots from deep in Saturday's spot start, would find a seat back on head coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s bench if Poole ultimately returns.
