Wizards F Hachimura (groin) cleared for basketball activities

Hachimura, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 draft, has missed 17 games after
taking an accidental knee to the groin from teammate Isaac Bonga in the
Wizards' Dec. 16 win at Detroit.

Brooks said Hachimura has to work himself back into shape before he can play,
but the Wizards hope he can return before the All-Star break in mid-February.

Hachimura, a 6-foot-8 forward, played in the Wizards' first 25 games, all
starts, and was averaging 13.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game
before the injury.

Brooks also said Wednesday that Moe Wagner (sprained left ankle) has been
given the OK for non-contact activities. The 6-foot-11 forward/center is
averaging 11.6 points and 6.0 rebounds in 21 games on the season.

In addition, Anzejs Pasecniks (sprained left ankle) will not play in
Wednesday's road game against the Miami Heat.
