Jordan Poole Out for Wizards vs. Heat Due to Elbow Injury

Jordan Poole is out for the game against the Miami Heat due to a right elbow hyperextension. This injury continues a trend for Poole, who has missed multiple games this season and has dealt with various injuries, including a left hip contusion earlier in the year.

This season, Poole has played 51 games, averaging 21.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. His absence could affect the performance of players like Bub Carrington and Khris Middleton in the starting lineup, as they step up in his place while he is on a streak of scoring 11 or more points in nine consecutive games.
