Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes declined his $12.8 million player option. However, he has agreed to a new two-year, $25.9 million contract to remain with the Wizards. The 30-year-old averaged double-digit scoring in three of his four seasons with the Sacramento Kings. Since then, he struggled to find a meaningful role in Dallas and Washington. Although Holmes adds depth to a rebuilding team, he will likely have issues getting on the floor moving ahead, which won't improve his fantasy value for the 2024-25 campaign.
Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't be able to return to the lineup on Friday against Chicago. The team has downgraded Holmes from questionable to out, meaning an eighth consecutive absence for him. Tristan Vukcevic is available again on Friday and should make another start in a decent matchup. The 21-year-old has looked very promising in his first few outings in the NBA, averaging 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three previous starts.
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been tagged as questionable ahead of their Friday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man has been a mainstay on the injury report this year, so his status has been even more difficult to judge as the season has come to a close. He hasn't played in the last seven consecutive games and it seems he would more than likely miss an eighth since the Wizards are more concerned with getting the best draft pick possible. If he's watching from the sidelines again, Anthony Gill would be the best big as a streaming option, but is a very risky selection, especially in DFS lineups.
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Portland. He's already missed four games because of a toe injury, and things aren't looking promising regarding his availability against the Blazers. With Marvin Bagley III (knee) out, Tristan Vukcevic, averaging 14.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the last two games, would warrant DFS consideration if Holmes remains sidelined.
Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will sit out a second consecutive contest on Sunday versus the Heat. He was labeled as questionable on the initial injury report, but the team has now officially ruled him out. This should mean another start for Marvin Bagley III, who's coming off a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double performance against Detroit. He finds himself in a much tougher matchup on Sunday versus four-time All-Defense Second Team member Bam Adebayo.
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) will miss Friday's matchup with Detroit. Holmes left Wednesday's contest against the Nets due to a left toe contusion. With Holmes sidelined, Marvin Bagley III will likely be the starting center. In Holmes's absence, forwards Anthony Gill, Patrick Baldwin, and Tristan Vukcevic should see an uptick in minutes on the court. However, these three players will make little of an impact in DFS on Friday.
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (illness) is questionable heading into Thursday's showdown with the Kings. He recently returned from a three-game layoff because of a sprained big toe. But now the 30-year-old could miss Wednesday's contest because of a non-COVID-illness. With Deni Avdija (knee) questionable and Marvin Bagley III (back) out, Corey Kispert could find himself staying in the starting lineup. Jared Butler and Justin Champagnie, combining for 31 points in the loss to Houston on Tuesday, may continue to get enough minutes to keep them relevant for DFS contests if Holmes doesn't suit up.
Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Chicago. He has recovered from a toe sprain and should jump straight into the starting unit, with Washington lacking options at center. Holmes has notched a double-double in each of his past two starts. He will face a tough challenge on the boards against Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond on Saturday, but Holmes has always been a good per-minute producer, and he should get all the minutes he can handle, as Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out of the lineup.
Richaun Holmes Picks Up Questionable Tag Versus Bulls
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been listed as questionable again for Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man has missed the last three games while dealing with a sprained big toe and is now in danger of missing a fourth in a row. If he can suit up, Holmes would take the starting center spot again. They've been rolling with a small-ball lineup in their starting five with Deni Avdija (knee), Corey Kispert, and Kyle Kuzma in the frontcourt. Since Avdija is also listed as questionable, Holmes could be in line for an even bigger role if he misses the game. Kuzma and Kispert would be the biggest beneficiaries if Holmes has to remain sidelined.
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't play on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. He has already missed two games because of a big toe strain and was listed as questionable heading into the contest, so he appeared to at least have a chance to return. However, he's still not ready to go, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday in Chicago. With Marvin Bagley III (back) also sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will likely continue to hold things down in the middle. Corey Kispert, coming off an impressive 22-point effort in Tuesday's loss to Memphis, is worth streaming in any fantasy format. Kispert is also an ideal value option in DFS contests.
