The Memphis Grizzlies do not have a single player on their active roster that is over 30 years old. And while the Wizards will trot out two thirty-somethings in Ish Smith and Ian Mahinmi, this matchup will be all about the least experienced players on each team.
That’s not to say that the “old” guys won’t matter. Ian Mahinmi will be the only available center for the Wizards tonight as Thomas Bryant (foot) and Moritz Wagner (ankle) both continue to rehab their injuries. And with Isaiah Thomas still nursing his calf injury, Smith will continue to be the primary point guard running the Wizards’ show.
