Rotowire
Pasecniks will be a healthy inactive for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
The Wizards will have two-way player Garrison Mathews available to make his season debut off the bench, so Pasecniks will be donning street clothes for the front end of the back-to-back set. Pasecniks wasn't included in coach Scott Brooks' rotation over the Wizards' first four games.
Pasecniks saw three minutes during Tuesday's 122-115 win over the Knicks.
Pasecniks made his 24th appearance but didn't see much time nor attempt a single shot attempt. He can be avoided in most formats.

Wizards' Anzejs Pasecniks: Off injury report
Rotowire
Pasecniks (hip) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Pasecniks appeared on the Wizards' injury report prior to the All-Star break with a sore left hip, but he was available for the team's first game of the second half Friday versus Cleveland. The rookie center ultimately went unused off the bench in the Wizards' five-point loss, and that's likely to be a common occurrence in competitive games moving forward. Pasecniks -- whose last appearance with the Wizards came back on Jan. 28 -- is buried behind Ian Mahinmi, Thomas Bryant and Moritz Wagner on the depth chart at center.

Wizards' Anzejs Pasecniks: Shipped to G League
Rotowire
The Wizards assigned Pasecniks to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Tuesday.
With Rui Hachimura (groin) and Moritz Wagner (ankle) returning from extended absences in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors, the Wizards were back to full strength in the frontcourt, which left no minutes available for Pasecniks. The rookie center had already been out of the rotation for the prior two games while Thomas Bryant and Ian Mahinmi split the playing time at center, and the additions of Hachimura and Wagner only further damage Pasecniks' chances of recapturing a meaningful role off the bench. Expect Pasecniks to at least see extensive minutes Wednesday in the Go-Go's matchup with the Grand Rapids Drive.

Wizards' Anzejs Pasecniks: Logs 15 minutes versus Cavaliers
Rotowire
Pasecniks pitched in four points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes during Thursday's 124-112 win over the Cavaliers.
Pasecniks returned to the rotation following a two-game absence with a sprained ankle and saw limited minutes as expected. With Thomas Bryant re-entering the starting lineup and Rui Hachimura (groin) and Moritz Wagner (ankle) likely to be back in the fold soon, Pasecniks may have a hard time carving out double-digit minutes on a nightly basis going forward, though he remains a potential dart-throw target heading into Sunday's matchup against Atlanta.

Wizards' Anzejs Pasecniks: Questionable for Monday
Rotowire
The Wizards list Pasecniks as questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons with a sprained left ankle.
Pasecniks presumably picked up the injury Friday, when he poured in 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 FT) and six rebounds in a 140-111 loss to the Raptors. The rookie is now third on the depth chart at center with Thomas Bryant and Ian Mahinmi both healthy, so his potential absence Monday wouldn't loom too large.
