The Duke product has missed the last 12 games. \u201cWe\u2019re hopeful,\u201d Green added. \u201cI can\u2019t give you a 100% definite, but we\u2019re definitely hopeful. We\u2019re gonna continue to look at him and the work he\u2019s doing and then give you guys an update when we can.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, for Washington\u2019s injury report, Kristaps Porzingis (left ankle sprain) is doubtful.
