Holmes (ankle) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Holmes will shake off a questionable tag and suit up without missing a game due to the sprained right ankle. The big man has appeared in only six games this season, though he is coming off season highs in minutes, rebounds, assists and blocks in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia. With Alexandre Sarr (illness) available, Holmes likely won't see significant playing time Friday.

Rotowire
Holmes (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against Chicago.
Holmes has played in only six games so far this season, but he is coming off a season high in minutes (27) and rebounds (11) in Wednesday's game versus Philadelphia due to Alexandre Sarr's absence due to an illness. If Holmes can't play, Anthony Gill will likely back up Sarr (if he's able to return) and Jonas Valanciunas.

Wizards' Richaun Holmes: Season-high 11 rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Holmes ended Wednesday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers with three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 27 minutes.
With rookie center Alexandre Sarr (illness) sidelined, Holmes played the most minutes in a game this season during Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, finishing with a season-high 11 rebounds. It was only the sixth game the big man has played for Washington during the 2024-25 campaign, but he could get more time if he can continue to crash the glass and be a force defensively with his shot-blocking ability.

Holmes suited up for just the fourth time all season, having now played a total of 24 minutes.
