Jordan Poole (ankle) has taken over as the starting point guard in his absence, but Poole is now questionable for this contest as well.

Jordan Poole has taken over as the starting point guard in Jones' absence, with Jared Butler seeing a good amount of minutes off the pine.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be out for a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He missed his first contest of the season on Saturday against Chicago and will need a bit more time to get over a back issue. Jordan Poole was back among the starters against the Bulls, posting 15 points and eight assists in 23 minutes.
