Webster (hip) hasn't appeared in any of the Wizards' five games this season.

Analysis:

Webster, who was diagnosed with a partial tear of his right labrum shortly before the season started, indicated he planned to play through the injury, but the Wizards haven't afforded the swingman that opportunity. Rather than risk worsening Webster's condition, it seems that the Wizards are content to just sit him out until he begins to experience less pain. With Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Gary Neal, Jared Dudley, and Kelly Oubre on hand to play on the wing, there's simply no need for the Wizards to rush Webster back to action.
