The former Sydney King's performance follows up his 10-point, nine-rebound effort in a win over Miami on the weekend.
The 27-year-old has progressively stepped up his production across his 10 NBA games so far, enjoying more minutes as the Wizards mix up their roster to close the season.
He will now return to Australia to start preparations for the 2023-24 season with the Wizards.
