Neal (leg) was absent from the Wizards' morning shootaround and appears unlikely to play Thursday against the Bucks, Jorge Castillo of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Neal missed Tuesday's tilt with the Knicks due to the sore right knee, and the Wizards appear inclined to hold him out through the All-Star break to better aid his recovery. He'll likely be officially ruled out closer to game time, and his probable absence could result in some increased responsibility for Ramon Sessions and Garrett Temple off the bench.
