  • Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Now questionable for Tuesday

    Kuzma is questionable to play Tuesday versus Houston due to left shoulder soreness.

    Kuzma's left shoulder soreness sidelined him during Sunday's loss to Boston, but he appeared to be past the issue prior to being added back to the injury report Monday. His status will need to be monitored for a Washington squad that ruled Bilal Coulibaly (wirst) out for the season Monday and that will also be without Deni Avdija (knee), Tyus Jones (back), Marvin Bagley (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) on Tuesday.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Season ends early

    The Wizards announced Monday that Coulibaly will miss the remainder of the season due to a right wrist fracture.

    Coulibaly missed Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics with what the Wizards had listed as a right wrist sprain, but follow-up tests apparently revealed a more serious injury. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will ultimately miss the final 15 games of the 2023-24, finishing his rookie campaign with averages of 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest over 63 appearances (15 starts) on 43.5 percent shooting from the field. The 19-year-old wing remains a raw prospect, and his efficiency progressively worsened throughout the course of the campaign as he took on added volume, but he has all the tools and a strong foundation to be a valuable wing in the league. Look for him to push for a regular 30-plus-minute role with Washington in 2024-25.

  • Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Omitted from injury report again

    Vukcevic (recently signed) isn't listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Rockets.

    Vukcevic, who recently signed a two-way deal with Washington, wasn't listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Celtics but ultimately didn't suit up, as he's still getting acclimated to his new squad -- and a new country. The Wizards are dealing with a litany of injuries, so there many be minutes available for the 2023 No. 42 overall pick.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Still sidelined

    Bagley (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Bagley will miss an eighth straight game due to a lumbar sprain. Richaun Holmes should draw another start while Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill operate as backups at center, given Eugene Omoruyi (ankle) is also out.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Ruled out for Tuesday

    Omoruyi has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets with a right ankle sprain.

    Omoruyi will miss at least one game after spraining his right ankle during Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics. Marvin Bagley (back) remains out Tuesday, so Richaun Holmes may start at center again, but the Wizards could also go small with Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill at the five for stretches.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' Landry Shamet: Still out

    Shamet (calf) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Shamet will miss a sixth straight game due to a lingering calf strain. The Wizards are extremely shorthanded right now, so Jared Butler, Johnny Davis, Jules Bernard and Anthony Gill have entered the rotation.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Tuesday

    Coulibaly (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Coulibaly is slated to miss a second straight game due to a right wrist contusion and will be joined by Deni Avdija (knee), Marvin Bagley (back), Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) on the sidelines. Given all the absences, Jules Bernard, Johnny Davis, Jared Butler, Patrick Baldwin and Anthony Gill should all remain in Washington's rotation for at least one more game.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' Tyus Jones: Remains sidelined Tuesday

    Jones (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Houston.

    Jones continues to deal with a back injury, and he's been diagnosed with a lumbosacral sprain. As a result, he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive game. Jordan Poole will likely continue to start for Washington on Tuesday, while Jared Butler has seen additional playing time in Jones' absence.

  • Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Not on injury report

    Kuzma (shoulder) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Kuzma didn't play Sunday against the Celtics due to a sore left shoulder, but he'll be back in action following a one-game absence. He's averaged 23.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists in 35.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

  • Wizards' Deni Avdija: Will remain out Tuesday

    Avdija (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

    Avdija is slated to miss a third straight game due to a right knee contusion. Marvin Bagley (back), Bilal Coulibaly (wrist), Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) also remain out, but Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't listed. Kuzma and Jordan Poole will presumably lead the shorthanded Wizards on Tuesday, while Avdija's next chance to suit up will come Thursday versus the Kings.

  • Wizards' Johnny Davis: Gets extended look

    Davis had eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 22 minutes during Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics.

    The Wizards are shorthanded at the moment, so guys like Davis and Jules Bernard could find more opportunities going forward. The Wisconsin product has had a tough season overall, hitting 35.5 percent from the field and 24.0 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Wizards' Jules Bernard: Productive off bench

    Bernard logged 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics.

    Bernard posted several career-best marks in his first extended look for the Wizards and gave the coaching staff something to think about. There are a lot of injuries in Washington right now, and given the Wizards' spot in the standings, there could be a youth movement in the final stretch. Bernard is worth keeping a close eye on going forward.

  • Wizards' Jordan Poole: Leads from deep in 30-point outing

    Poole finished with 31 points (12-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four assists and two rebounds over 23 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 loss to Boston.

    Poole led all players in Sunday's contest in scoring while connecting on a team-leading trio of threes and handing out a quartet of assists to boost shorthanded Washington offensively in a losing effort. Poole has surpassed the 30-point mark in seven games this season, including in three of his last 10 outings.

  • Wizards' Patrick Baldwin: Well-rounded outing in first start

    Baldwin tallied six points (2-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 32 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 loss to Boston.

    Baldwin got his first starting nod of the season with Washington dealing with numerous injuries, recording a team-high-tying pair of blocks while ending second on the team in rebounds to go along with a half-dozen points in a balanced performance. Baldwin set a season-high mark in boards, posting his fourth game of the year with six or more points.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Nears double-double in first start

    Champagnie recorded 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist over 36 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 loss to Boston.

    Champagnie got his first career start with the Wizards shorthanded, leading all players in Sunday's contest in rebounds to go along with a team-leading pair of steals and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a near double-double outing. Champagnie set season high marks in scoring, rebounds and steals while posting his second game with at least 10 points and seven rebounds this season, both of which have taken place in the last two outings.

  • Wizards' Eugene Omoruyi: Exits early Sunday

    Omoruyi won't return to Sunday's game against the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

    Omoruyi tweaked his ankle late in the second half and was ruled out for the remainder of the contest shortly thereafter. The 27-year-old pro will finish the day with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Gets starting nod

    Champagnie will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    Champagnie will make his first career NBA start for the shorthanded Wizards. He played 25 minutes during Saturday's loss in Chicago and totaled 11 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and one steal.

  • Wizards' Patrick Baldwin: Will start Sunday

    Baldwin will start Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    With the Wizards banged up, Baldwin will make his first start and be joined by Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert, Justin Champagnie and Richaun Holmes. Baldwin played a season-high 18 minutes during a Jan. 13 win over the Hawks and posted eight points, nine rebounds and one block.
