Wizards lose Thomas Bryant to torn ACL in left knee

Washington Wizards likely will be without center Thomas Bryant for remainder of season because of a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Bryant is one of only two players who started all 10 games so far this season for Wizards. He got hurt after incidental contact with two Miami players during first quarter of Wizards’ loss to Heat on Saturday night.

An MRI performed Sunday confirmed partial tear. Wizards have t anunced when Bryant will have surgery or given an exact timeline for his recovery, but rehabilitation process following ACL tears and surgery typically take several months at a minimum.

“I just kw one thing about TB: He’s a great kid that works hard, plays with passion, gives you everything he has,” Wizards coach Scott Brooks said.

Bryant has averd 14.3 points and 6.1 rebounds on 65% shooting this season.
