Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie placed in health and safety protocols

Earlier this week, both Rui Hachimura and Montrezl Harrell entered the NBA's health and safety protocols. It was reported Thursday afternoon that one of the members of the Washington Wizards' starting backcourt joined them.

Thomas Bryant, Anthony Gill, Aaron Holiday, Raul Neto, Bradley Beal and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope were the other Wizards players in the protocols as of late Thursday afternoon.

Washington is scheduled to host the Cleveland Cavaliers at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday.
