Washington Wizards guard John Wall will not play in Saturday’s Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks, Wizards coach Randy Wittman said before the game.

Wall has five non-displaced fractures in his left hand and wrist, and it is unclear when he might play again.

Wall scored 18 points with 13 assists and one turnover in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Atlanta Hawks but sat out the second game, when top-seeded Atlanta evened the best-of-seven series at 1-1.

Ramon Sessions played well for the Wizards in Game 2 and will likely get the bulk of the minutes Saturday.
