The Washington Wizards wrapped up their preseason against the New Orleans Pelicans, but several questions remain heading into opening night! AJ Dybantsa exited the preseason finale after rolling his ankle, with Washington holding its No. 1 overall pick out for precautionary reasons. Did the Wizards avoid a serious injury just days before the regular season begins? On today's Locked On Wizards, we discuss Dybantsa's injury scare and why protecting his long-term health must be the organization's top priority. Plus, Trae Young's struggles to create his own shot are becoming an intriguing storyline. While Young's elite court vision has generated plenty of open looks for his teammates, his individual scoring and Washington's overall offensive execution have been inconsistent throughout the preseason. With the regular season approaching, are the Wizards experiencing normal growing pains, or are there legitimate reasons for concern?
