Wizards guard John Wall talks with Kelly Oubre Jr. during a timeout in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Celtics in Boston. On Sunday, Markieff Morris, the 6-foot-10 power forward, left the game with a badly sprained left ankle. Even if Morris makes a quick recovery and plays in Game 2, the Boston matchup should force the Wizards to play small for stretches. That means possibly more Porter and Oubre on the floor together, but Sunday’s third quarter showed that the Wizards will need more than just “energy” out of their forwards.
