Nesmith is dealing with a non-COVID illness, but he will still travel with the team to Washington and hopes to play in Saturday's contest against the Wizards, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith didn't practice Friday due to the illness, but he hopes to be ready for Saturday's contest against the Wizards. The 22-year-old wing hasn't seen any playing time the last two games, so if he's unable to suit up, it shouldn't affect coach Ime Udoka's rotations.
