The Washington Wizards forward had a right hip injury and did not play since Jan. 12.
On Monday, the Washington Wizards announced that forward Isaiah Livers will sit out the rest of the 2023-24 NBA season due to a joint capsule inflammation in his right hip. Livers has not played a game since Jan. 12 when he was playing for the Detroit Pistons. Here is the quote from Washington’s press release.
Wizards forward Isaiah Livers will miss the remainder of the regular season due to joint capsule inflammation in his right hip (he has missed the last 15 games with the injury). The injury will be treated conservatively.
Livers averaged 5 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in the 2023-24 season, all for Detroit. He was acquired before the NBA trade deadline when the Wizards acquired him and Marvin Bagley in exchange for Danilo Gallinari.
Given that he never played in a Wizards uniform, yet, I don’t think there is much I can say on Livers. But given that the Wizards are firmly in the NBA’s basement competition-wise, it doesn’t hurt to see them treat Livers’ more conservatively than to aggressively try to bring him back to game action.
