What happened: The Washington Wizards announced Anthony Davis’ volar plate tissue in his left hand has not yet fully healed. The newly acquired star, sidelined since January, will continue conservative treatment and ramp up basketball activities as tolerated. Davis will be reevaluated at the end of March.

Why it matters: With just seven regular-season games remaining, Davis' extended absence jeopardizes any late Wizards playoff push in the East. His history of injuries underscores the risk for fantasy and prop wagers.

What to watch: Monitor Wizards' reevaluation of Davis by month's end and their performance in the final seven games.
