1. John Wall attends Miyah's funeral
Wall, and everyone who knew Miyah Telemaque-Nelson, lost a great friend and a great person on Dec. 8. Yesterday, Wall attended, and spoke at, Miyah's funeral while leaving another touching message on his Instagram page afterwards.
RIP.
2. Martell Webster may return tonight
Webster had planned to make his return this week. Exactly when? Nobody knows. But there's a possibility that it could be as soon as tonight when the Wizards host the Phoenix Suns. If he doesn't play tonight, though, Webster's return is expected to come by Christmas Day's game against the New York Knicks, in any case.
3. Who will play and who won't?
The Wizards are a deep squad, if you haven't noticed. So deep that it's difficult to decide who Randy Wittman will have to deactivate to make room for Webster when he makes his season debut. Early thoughts are DeJuan Blair and Garrett Temple. But Drew Gooden could be deactivated for certain games, as well.
4. Grading this past week
It's been a fun week for the Wizards. It's been a fun season. But an undefeated week -- so far -- is pretty awesome. Here's a breakdown of how each player has looked throughout the week.
Spoiler alert: John Wall was really, really good.
5. Wizards face Suns tonight
Currently riding a six-game win streak, the Wizards (19-6) host the Phoenix Suns (14-14) tonight in the phone booth. The Suns have won two straight games and are 6-1 against Eastern Conference opponents. Their three-headed guard attack is dangerous when clicking on all cylinders. The Suns are the sixth-highest scoring team in the NBA and top 10 in steals per game.
Tip off is set for 6 p.m. at the Verizon Center.
I repeat. Tip off is set for 6 p.m. at the Verizon Center.
