Trevor Ariza (groin) doubtful for Wizards Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Trevor Ariza (left groin strain) is doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers.

What It Means:

Ariza will miss a third straight game for the eliminated Wizards and he may not return at all over the remainder of the regular season. Troy Brown started the past two games in Ariza's place.

Ariza was averaging 14.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 2.2 triples over 42 games before the injury.
