What happened: Washington Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsa is set to make his NBA regular-season debut Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers, exactly 16 years after John Wall debuted for the franchise in 2010. Dybantsa is listed as available after missing the first four games of the season with a left ankle sprain.

Why it matters: The debut brings the centerpiece of Washington's rebuild onto the floor after the Wizards signed the No. 1 overall pick to a $66.9 million rookie contract in July. Like Wall in 2010, Dybantsa enters the rotation as the franchise's top draft selection looking to anchor the backcourt and wing rotation.

What to watch: The Wizards and Cavaliers tip off Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. ET in Cleveland.
