Washington Wizards rookie forward Deni Avdija will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right leg.
The Wizards said that an MRI exam Thursday showed Avdija has a hairline fracture of his right fibula.
The team said the 20-year-old from Israel does not need surgery and is expected to make a full recovery in about three months. Washington’s regular-season finale is May 16.
The first-round draft pick was hurt and taken off the court in a wheelchair during Washington’s 118-114 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
Avdija landed awkwardly after missing a layup late in the second quarter.
