“There was a play where I contested a shot and me and Lance (Stephenson) both went to the ground,” Oubre said, “and his body came down on my ankle and I rolled it in mid-game. But it’s just one of those things where I had to fight through that, and be mentally tough and finish the game.”

Just as the Wizards seemed to hit their stride and get back Markieff Morris from a foot injury that kept him out a game, they won’t have Kelly Oubre for Sunday’s contest with the L.A. Clippers because he’s in concussion protocol. Oubre, a 6-7 forward who has been a valuable defender coming off the bench or when coach Scott Brooks uses small-ball lineups, is listed out by the team. The Wizards have won four of five games and might not have Jason Smith (right hamstring) after he removed himself from Friday’s win over the Detroit Pistons.
