Wizards beat Magic 103-94, Dybantsa scores 21

AJ Dybantsa scored a career-high 21 points in his third NBA game, helping the Washington Wizards beat the Orlando Magic 103-94 alongside Anthony Davis, who had 29 points and eight rebounds. The rookie, who had been on a minutes restriction after an ankle injury, played 33 minutes as Washington gradually increased his workload; he has scored 19, 17 and 21 points in his first three appearances. Sporting News analyst Steph Noh gave Dybantsa an A-minus for his start and called his debut the best among rookies, while noting that his limited games and ongoing defensive development temper the early praise.
