The Washington Wizards are shifting to their third acting head coach Monday with their top two sidelined in the league’s health and safety protocol.

Assistant coach Joseph Blair is leading the team against the Philadelphia 76ers after Pat Delany was placed in the COVID protocol Monday. Delany had been filling in for head coach Wes Unseld Jr., who remains in the protocol. He was placed into protocol Friday.

Bradley Beal is also in the protocol and is questionable for the game.

The Wizards last played Saturday, losing to the visiting Portland Trail Blazers.
