Analysis:

While the extent of Rice's injury is still murky, the Wizards will undoubtedly be without Bradley Beal (wrist) and Martell Webster (back) for at least the first few weeks of the season. Rice, Porter and Garrett Temple are the leading candidates to take on Beal's minutes, with Rice probably the most natural fit at off-guard. Whether or not he ends up starting, Porter seems to be assured of a key role in the rotation to start the season.
