Thomas Bryant, Gary Payton II test positive for COVID-19
Ava Wallace: Garrison Mathews, Thomas Bryant and Gary Payton did not travel with the Wizards to Orlando, per sources. Mathews for personal reasons. Bryant and Payton have tested positive for the coronavirus.
On this early March afternoon, he was participating in a routine one-on-one drill. The ball had swung around the perimeter and eventually would go to the ball-handler at the top of the key, who was allowed up to three dribbles to make a move. The defender — in this case, a sacrificial lamb named Garrison Mathews — would scurry inside the 3-point line, fundamentally closing out and hoping to deter a basket. “Hoping” is the operative word here. It was Wall’s turn to go. He received a pass and put the ball on the ground. One dribble, two steps and liftoff. He threw down a lefty slam glorious enough that its release today should quench any fans’ thirst for the sports world’s first new highlight in weeks.
There are other minor moves Sheppard has made that stand out as good ones. He may have found something in Garrison Mathews, a rookie on a two-way deal who can light it up from three. Anzejs Pasecniks and Gary Payton II have been nice surprises as end-of-the-roster guys. And signing Ish Smith for less money instead of retaining Tomas Satoransky has proven to be a smart decision.
Fred Katz: Garrison Mathews back with the Wizards tonight, the team announces.
Fred Katz: Garrison Mathews is “good to go,” Scott Brooks says. Still figuring out if he’ll be active tonight. “I’ll tweet it out,” Brooks said.
Candace Buckner: Also, rookie Garrison Mathews will be out for “some time” with his twisted ankle, Brooks announced tonight
Fred Katz: Bradley Beal (lower right leg soreness) listed as questionable once again for tomorrow’s game against the Magic. Davis Bertans (quad) and Thomas Bryant (foot) are listed as out. So is Garrison Mathews (ankle sprain).
Candace Buckner: X-rays on Garrison Mathews’ right ankle came back negative, The Post has learned. Mathews was carried off the court in the second quarter after stepping on Jayson Tatum’s shoe and twisting the ankle.
Chase Hughes: Wizards stun the Heat, 123-105. Ian Mahinmi scored 25 points (career-high), Garrison Mathews had 28 (career-high) and Jordan McRae had 29. Best win of the Wizards’ season so far given the opponent and all of their injuries.
“The young players that we brought in, they’re not one-and-done kids,” Sheppard said. “There’s guys, the four rookies that we have, Rui, Admiral, we added Justin Robinson, we added Garrison Mathews, they all played for great college coaches, great programs, three-year players minimum. They’re rookies, but by pedigree they’ve accomplished a great deal, so they’re coming in the door, we’re not starting remedial basketball.”
