Alondes Williams Signs 10-Day Contract With Wizards

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Washington Wizards are signing guard Alondes Williams to a 10-day contract from their Capital City G-League affiliate. The 26-year-old earns a call-up from Capital City after averaging 20.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in the G League, highlighted by four 30-point efforts. With Trae Young (knee) sidelined and the Wizards leaning into youth, Williams will compete with Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, and Will Riley for backcourt minutes. He is a watchlist name in deeper formats, but immediate standard-league value is unlikely without a clear rotation role.

Alexandre Sarr to Miss Multiple Weeks

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) will miss at least two weeks of action, according to Shams Charania. Sarr was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain on Thursday. He sat out during Wednesday's game and will miss the upcoming Rising Stars exhibition on All-Star weekend. At least the All-Star break is almost here, so Sarr might only miss a few games coming out of the break. The assumption is that Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill will be asked to step up in the rotation while Sarr is out. Vukcevic has been playing well enough lately to roster in certain formats until Sarr returns.

Alexandre Sarr to Sit Versus Cleveland

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to right hamstring tightness. The second-year big is averaging 28.2 minutes with a 24.3 percent usage rate and has delivered steady production when available, chipping in scoring, rebounding, and defensive numbers in a clear starter's role. With Tristan Vukcevic (illness) also sidelined, Anthony Gill could absorb frontcourt minutes, though he has scored nine points or fewer in four of his last five appearances and remains a fringe deep-league option. Sarr carries clear upside, but a late-season shutdown risk exists if Washington leans fully into development.

Tristan Vukcevic Sidelined on Wednesday

Washington Wizards center Tristan Vukcevic (illness) will miss Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers due to an illness. The 22-year-old big man is averaging 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists across 11.9 minutes per contest in 33 outings this season. Washington's frontcourt could also be without Alexandre Sarr (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, so veteran forward Anthony Gill may take on more playing time than usual.

Bilal Coulibaly Cleared to Face Cavaliers

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was initially considered questionable due to a sore right heel. Fantasy managers have been left frustrated by Coulibaly's recent performances, as he has been very inconsistent. Across February, Coulibaly has shot only 37.5 percent from the field, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.3 steals. He could have trouble meeting fantasy expectations again on Wednesday against a surging Cavaliers squad.

Kyshawn George Sheds Questionable Tag, Will Play Against Cavaliers

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (ankle) is off the injury report and will play Wednesday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 22-year-old sprained his ankle in the third quarter of Washington's last game versus the Miami Heat and did not return. George is enjoying a much-improved second professional season, although his play has slipped lately. He's averaging 8.7 points, two rebounds, and 2.7 assists in February, compared to season-long averages of 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. Fellow Washington forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is also available for the Wizards tonight.

Bilal Coulibaly Uncertain to Play vs. Cleveland

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The issue surfaced after he logged 34 minutes Sunday, finishing with seven points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block while playing through discomfort. With Washington leaning into a youth movement and Kyshawn George (ankle) also questionable, minutes could funnel to rookie Will Riley, who has averaged 18.2 points, 2.6 threes, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games. Fellow rookie Jamir Watkins gains fringe value. Coulibaly carries short-term risk, while Riley profiles as a streamer.

Kyshawn George Faces Questionable Tag vs. Cleveland

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday against Cleveland after turning his ankle Sunday, adding another layer of uncertainty to a Washington rotation already trending toward late-season evaluation mode. If George or Bilal Coulibaly (heel) sits, minutes should open for Will Riley, who has responded when extended, averaging 18.2 points, 2.6 threes, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games. Jamir Watkins also gains fringe value. Riley profiles as a viable streamer, while George carries short-term risk in standard formats.

Bilal Coulibaly is Available for Sunday's Game

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (back) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Coulibaly is back in the mix after sitting out Saturday's game due to a lower back issue. The third-year guard is feeling good enough to suit up on Sunday, but it wouldn't be shocking to see the tanking Wizards be cautious with his minutes. This season, Coulibaly is averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 26.7 minutes per game. He's not offering enough upside to warrant rostering in anything other than deep leagues right now. Jamir Watkins and Justin Champagnie should see reduced roles with Coulibaly back on Sunday.

Kyshawn George is Ready to Go on Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. George sat out the front end of this back-to-back set due to a knee issue. It doesn't seem to be serious enough to hold him out of both games. His return to the rotation will send Will Riley back to the bench, while Keshon Gilbert sees a reduced role as well. George is averaging 15.1 points, 4.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds across 30.5 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get George active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

Alexandre Sarr is Cleared for Sunday's Game

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Sarr is returning after sitting out Saturday's game due to an ankle injury. His return to the rotation should shift Tristan Vukcevic back to the bench, where he won't have as much streaming appeal. This season, Sarr is averaging 17.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 28.3 minutes per game. The second-year big man needs to be rostered and started in basically all fantasy formats. Fantasy managers should get him active ahead of tip-off.

Anthony Davis Expected to Miss Remainder of Season

Washington Wizards forward/center Anthony Davis (hand) is expected to sit out the rest of the 2025-26 season after being acquired in a deadline deal, with the organization prioritizing a full recovery. Davis has not played since Jan. 8 and will not rush back as Washington looks ahead to next year. For fantasy managers, the impact lands in Dallas, where Daniel Gafford steps into a heavier workload. Gafford has logged 14.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks over his last three starts, making him a strong hold with top-60 upside. Marvin Bagley III is a deeper-league watch for scoring and boards, while P.J. Washington gains frontcourt stability.

Anthony Davis Traded to the Wizards

Five-time All-Pro forward Anthony Davis is being traded to the Washington Wizards, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal comes just over a year after he was sent to the Mavericks as part of the Luka Doncic trade. The Wizards will also acquire guards Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum. The Mavericks, in return, will get Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round picks, and three second-round selections. Davis (hand) is still without a clear timetable for return, although he will reportedly be reevaluated six weeks from January 13th. Once cleared, he'll presumably start next to Alex Sarr in the frontcourt and catch lobs from Trae Young (knee) when both are healthy. That, however, has been a rare occurrence this season. Davis has only played in 20 games so far this year.

Alexandre Sarr Active for Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (calf) is available to suit up against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Sarr will return after missing Sunday's contest against the Kings due to right calf soreness. Across 38 appearances this season, the 20-year-old big man is averaging 17.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.1 blocks in 28.6 minutes per contest. Marvin Bagley III will likely see his role reduced with Sarr back in action Tuesday evening.

Alexandre Sarr Won't Play Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (calf) will miss Sunday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. The team has downgraded Sarr from questionable to out, resulting in his first absence of 2026. Marvin Bagley III (back) will return from a five-game absence and could be heavily involved against his former team. The Duke product has done a decent job this season, averaging 10.0 points and 5.7 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game.

Tre Johnson Out Against Lakers

Washington Wizards guard/forward Tre Johnson (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He sprained his left ankle during Thursday's win over Milwaukee and will sit out at least one game due to the injury. On Thursday, Bub Carrington started the second half in Johnson's absence and figures to have a larger role again in Friday's game. Malaki Branham could also be more involved in the rotation, especially with Khris Middleton (knee) also absent against the Lakers.

Khris Middleton Sits Out Meeting With Lakers

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (knee) won't play against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Washington will be in action for a second consecutive night, and it's not surprising that Middleton will be held out of Friday's contest due to his right knee injury. With Middleton out, Will Riley could see an expanded role against the Lakers, though the 19-year-old hasn't been a very productive player during his rookie campaign. Justin Champagnie and Bub Carrington may get a chance to step up offensively without Middleton.

Tre Johnson • SG • Wizards

Tre Johnson Leaves Early Thursday with Ankle Injury

Washington Wizards guard/forward Tre Johnson (ankle) was ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against Milwaukee after turning his left ankle on a jump shot late in the second quarter. The rookie logged just 11 minutes and finished with eight points and two assists before heading to the locker room, putting his short-term availability in question. Bub Carrington saw a noticeable minutes bump after halftime and posted 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds in 29 minutes, putting him on the streaming radar. Bilal Coulibaly and Justin Champagnie should see steadier roles if Johnson misses time, while Johnson himself shapes up as a cautious hold until more clarity arrives.

Alexandre Sarr Cleared for Thursday's Action

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) will play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Due to illness, Sarr couldn't practice on Wednesday, and Washington listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. Sarr had a big performance last time out against the Portland Trail Blazers, finishing with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and six blocks. He could have another field day against a Bucks team that is without Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and sits 23rd in defensive efficiency.

Khris Middleton • SF • Wizards

Khris Middleton is Available on Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (foot) is available to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Middleton will make his return on Tuesday after missing Saturday's contest due to left foot soreness. The return of Middleton should push Will Riley back to the bench after making his first start on Saturday. In January, Middleton is averaging 9.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in 23.7 minutes per game in nine contests. He has been playing well enough to be worth a look in deep formats as a streaming option for Tuesday's slate.
