As unfortunate as this may be, they are minor injuries and allow young players to earn regular minutes in their absence.
Shamet's absence will open up more playing time for Johnny Davis and Bilal Coulibaly. If one of them impresses, they can take that bench shooting guard role for good, opening the door for a Shamet trade.
This could provide an opportunity for the Wizards to play small-ball lineups. This could mean sliding Kyle Kuzma or Deni Avdija to play center in limited minutes and open up more playing time for the likes of Coulibaly and Patrick Baldwin Jr.
