Webster's strained right hip kept him out of Friday's preseason loss to the Wizards.

Analysis:

Webster has yet to make his preseason debut after suffering the hip injury earlier in training camp, and there appears to be some legitimate concern about the injury. Though he was able to log some non-contact work in Thursday's practice, Webster noted that he's still experiencing "significant pain" around the affected area, according to CSN Washington's J. Michael. While the ailment doesn't figure to result in Webster missing extensive regular-season action just yet, the Wizards are worried that the swingman's injury may linger over a long period of time, which could hinder his overall effectiveness when he's on the court.
