Wizards' Malaki Branham: Available Wednesday
Branham (calf) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Branham will shed his questionable tag due to right calf soreness and suit up against Milwaukee. The 22-year-old guard has logged double-digit minutes in three of his last five appearances, averaging 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 52.6 percent from the field in 11.2 minutes per game during that stretch.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Iffy for Wednesday
Branham is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness.
Branham could test out his calf during Wednesday's pregame warmups before the Wizards decide whether he'll be available for action. The guard has played at least 20 minutes just once in his last five appearances, so his status may not have a significant impact on the Washington rotation.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Cleared to face Memphis
Branham (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Branham was labeled questionable on Washington's initial injury report due to a sprained thumb. However, he's been given the green light Sunday. The 22-year-old guard is a fringe rotation piece for the Wizards, but he could see some more action due to the absence of Kyshawn George (hip).

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Iffy for Sunday
Branham (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Branham is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to the same sprained thumb that cost him three games earlier this month. However, his potential absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Washington rotation.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Good to go Saturday
Branham (thumb) is available to play in Saturday's game against Memphis.
Branham will return from a three-game absence due to a sprained right thumb. The 22-year-old hadn't been a major factor in the rotation prior to getting hurt and won't be guaranteed to see any minutes Saturday.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Questionable with thumb sprain
Branham is questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies due to a sprained right thumb.
Branham is trying to avoid missing a fourth consecutive game with the thumb injury. If the swingman doesn't play, Tre Johnson should see a slight bump in minutes Saturday for some deep-league streaming appeal.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Ruled out Thursday
Branham is out for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to a sprained right thumb.
Thursday's contest will mark a third straight absence for Branham, whose next chance to play comes Saturday in Memphis. With Branham sidelined, Tre Johnson's streaming upside should see a decent boost.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Won't play Friday
Branham (thumb) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Branham was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. He's not a consistent part of the rotation, so his absence won't have a big fantasy impact.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Iffy for Friday
Branham is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right thumb sprain.
Branham is not a consistent rotation player in Washington, as he's averaging 8.0 minutes across 11 appearances. Therefore, his status doesn't carry a lot of fantasy implications.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Back in rotation Tuesday
Branham logged eight points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 11 minutes during Tuesday's 121-102 loss to the 76ers.
Branham moved back into the rotation, albeit for 11 minutes during garbage time. Despite playing for a team that seemingly has every incentive to blood its youth, Branham has been unable to carve out a consistent role for himself. Through nine appearances, he is averaging just 4.0 points in 7.3 minutes per game.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Plays eight minutes in win
Branham closed with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two assists and one steal across eight minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 win over the Hawks.
Branham does not have a role within Washington's rotation, appearing in just six games this season for an average of 7.8 minutes, and he likely only touches the court in blowout situations. This trend is likely to continue unless Washington experiences more injuries to its backcourt.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Drops 10 points in loss
Branham chipped in 10 points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 136-107 loss to the Celtics.
Branham made just his second appearance of the season, logging 17 minutes, all of which came in the second half. The Wizards are struggling to find a winning formula at the moment, something that could very well plague them the entire season. At this stage, there is no reason to consider Branham a viable fantasy asset.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Headed to Wasington
The Spurs traded Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick to the Wizards in exchange for Kelly Olynyk (heel) on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Branham is set to join Washington, though he isn't guaranteed significant playing time in a crowded backcourt. The 22-year-old appeared in 47 regular-season games with San Antonio last season, averaging 5.0 points and 1.1 rebounds while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from downtown across a career-low 9.1 minutes per contest.

Spurs' Malaki Branham: Plays 17 minutes
Branham closed with 11 points (4-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 125-118 victory over Toronto.
Playing in his third NBA season, Branham unfortunately took a big step back. He made 47 regular-season appearances, averaging 5.0 points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 9.1 minutes. However, he hit 40.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Spurs' Malaki Branham: Posts 15 points from bench
Branham registered 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Friday's 117-98 loss to Phoenix.
Branham has made his presence known in the closing weeks, although he's also failed to see the floor a few times. Branham's best chance for future success would probably be the potential departure of Chris Paul, but the veteran's future with the team is currently up in the air.

Spurs' Malaki Branham: Scores season-high 17 points
Branham notched 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Branham tallied double-digit points for the third time in the past five games, matching his season high with 17 points. As the Spurs get closer to the end of what has been a frustrating season, Branham has been able to force his way into the rotation. With that being said, his playing time has been far from consistent. Given his muted role this season, it's hard to see Branham carving out a regular spot for himself in the 2025-26 campaign.
