With the Washington Wizards officially eliminated from the postseason, guard Kelly Oubre's top priority now becomes taking care of his ailing right knee.

The 21-year-old plans to undergo PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections in his knee, according to ESPN's Chris Haynes.

He's expected to be able to return to basketball activities in two weeks.

Oubre underwent an MRI last week, which reportedly showed no structural damage.

He's been dealing with pain in the area since Washington's opening-round series against the Atlanta Hawks.

Oubre averaged 5.8 points on 42.6 percent shooting, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.8 steals over the Wizards' 12 playoff games.

Washington fell in Game 7 to the Boston Celtics Monday night at the TD Garden, with Oubre not seeing a minute of action.
