EDGE Analysis
Black was signed to a two-way deal with Washington, where he averaged 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 steals across 28.9 minutes in 15 regular-season contests.

Black notched zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal over nine minutes during Sunday's 130-117 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
After beginning the season with the G League's Capital City Go-Go, Black signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Wizards ahead of the All-Star break. The 26-year-old swingman averaged 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals in 28.9 minutes per tilt across 15 games this season, and he'll be a candidate to open next season with the G League.

Black will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Black started the last four games, but he will retreat to the bench for the team's season finale. Black has averaged 8.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 34.8 minutes per contest over his last four appearances, but he could see a reduced role Sunday, considering his exit from the starting five.

Black amassed 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, one block and two steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Black nearly recorded his first double-double of the season, and he tied his season high in rebounds with a strong night on the glass. He's been heavily involved in the Washington rotation down the stretch of the regular season, as the club has put more emphasis on developing young talent after being eliminated from the postseason. Black could continue to see opportunities in the Wizards' final two matchups of the campaign, especially if Tre Johnson (foot), Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Jaden Hardy (back) remain sidelined.

Black is in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Black is getting the spot start with Tre Johnson (foot) out, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Bub Carrington, Will Riley, Julian Reese and Anthony Gill. Across five starts this season, Black has averaged 9.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 triples and 1.0 steals per game.

Black (two-way) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the timing of his signing a two-way deal with the Wizards, Black is eligible to suit up for 15 games at the NBA level. The Wizards are choosing to hold Black out against the 76ers in an effort to manage his availability, but because he's been active on nine occasions, he'll be eligible to play in each of the team's final six games of the season after Wednesday.

Black (two-way) won't play Monday against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Black will be held out of Monday's contest as the Wizards aim to preserve the number of games remaining on his two-way deal. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Wednesday against Philadelphia.

Black (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Black popped up on Satuday's injury report as questionable due to right adductor soreness, but he has been given the green light to play in Sunday's contest. He has started in each of the Wizards' last two games and played 40-plus minutes in both of those contests.

Black is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland due to right adductor soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Black is at risk of missing the opening end of Washington's back-to-back set. He's started in each of the Wizards' last two games, averaging 7.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.5 blocks across 41 minutes.

Black posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 victory over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Black was a menace on the defensive end, racking up six combined steals and blocks while setting a new season high in minutes. Although Black has been productive, his availability has been sporadic at best. He has appeared in three of the past nine games, missing time due to an ankle sprain and because of his limitations as a two-way player. Unless he's converted to a standard NBA contract, Black will be eligible to play in eight of the Wizards' remaining 10 games.
