Neal (leg) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Milwaukee.

Analysis:

Neal's lingering right leg injury will keep him on the shelf Thursday, marking his second consecutive missed game and fourth missed game in the past three weeks. The Wizards will likely lean on Bradley Beal and Garrett Temple at shooting guard Thursday as they close out the first half of the season and head into the All-Star break. Neal's next chance to play will come Feb. 18 against Utah.
