Jordan Poole's Status vs. Grizzlies Revealed

In this story:
The Washington Wizards are looking for their first win of the season on Saturday night when they take on the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies at home. The Wizards have released their injury report for this game, and it only includes Landry Shamet and Johnny Davis. Newly acquired guard Jordan Poole is unlisted and expected to be available to play for the Wizards in this game.
As previously mentioned, Washington is looking for their first win of the season, as they dropped their season opener to the Indiana Pacers. The Grizzlies are also winless so far on the year, as they have started 0-2 without Ja Morant and others. It’s going to be very tough for the Grizzlies to survive during Morant's absence, but the team is determined to stay afloat until he makes his return from his 25 game NBA suspension.
The Wizards are a very interesting team this season, as the addition of Poole, along with the continued growth of Kyle Kuzma is something the organization hopes can make them more competitive this season than they have been in recent years. This game against the Grizzlies is one the Wizards feel they should get, as Memphis is far from the team they would be at full strength.
The Grizzlies and Wizards are set to tip-off at 7:00 PM EST in Washington for this game.
