Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Will be limited by elbow injury

Gafford sustained an elbow injury during a recent pickup game and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Gafford reportedly took a hard fall during the pickup game and landed on his elbow. While the exact diagnosis for his injury remains unknown, the belief is that the big man will avoid surgery. He'll still be sidelined to start training camp, however, and he'll likely miss some preseason action. Gafford could still be on track to be ready to go for Washington's Oct. 25 regular-season opener at Indiana, where he could serve as the team's starting center. He was part of the top unit in 47 of his 78 appearances in 2022-23.
