Tre Johnson to be Limited in Return on Friday

Washington Wizards guard Tre Johnson (hip) will return to the court for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Johnson has been cleared to play after missing seven games due to a left hip flexor strain. Head coach Brian Keefe stated that Johnson won't have a full workload during his first game back. He didn't say how much Johnson would play, but his fantasy value will be hindered without a full workload. This season, Johnson is averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists across 24.1 minutes in 15 games. The first-round pick won't be a recommended streaming option for Friday's big slate. Johnson could be worth a look as a streaming option once he's back to full speed.

Khris Middleton Misses Second Straight Game

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (knee) will miss a second straight game Friday against Cleveland, further stretching an already thin wing rotation. With Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) and Corey Kispert (thumb) also sidelined, Justin Champagnie has stepped into a larger role, posting 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and three blocks in 32 minutes last time out. Rookie Will Riley added 15 points in 19 minutes and remains a deep-league option for points and threes. Champagnie profiles as a boards-and-stocks streamer, while Riley is best treated as matchup dependent.

Khris Middleton Questionable With Knee Soreness Against Hawks

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with Atlanta, continuing a stretch where his availability and production have been hard for fantasy managers to rely on. The veteran has bounced in and out of the lineup, and his recent line of 16 points, three rebounds, and four assists underscores a solid but low-ceiling role when active. If he sits, Justin Champagnie, rookie Will Riley, and Cam Whitmore (illness) should absorb extra wing minutes, with Champagnie's rebounding and Whitmore's scoring making them deeper-league streamers rather than standard-league priorities.

Bilal Coulibaly Likely Out Multiple Weeks With Oblique Strain

Washington Wizards guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) is expected to miss multiple weeks, removing a key perimeter defender from an already thin rotation and opening short-term streaming chances on the wing. Cam Whitmore logged 16 minutes Tuesday and posted four points, five rebounds and one block, placing him on the radar as a deeper-league fringe option rather than a priority add. Justin Champagnie and rookie Will Riley also scored 13 points and offer low-end appeal. All three profile as situational streamers while Coulibaly is out.

Alexandre Sarr to Miss Third Straight Game Thursday

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (adductor) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game on Thursday against the Boston Celtics. The talented Frenchman is nursing a right adductor strain. Given the nature of muscle injuries, his return to action may take some time. In Sarr's absence, Marvin Bagley III has become a popular man among fantasy managers and looks set to maintain a starting role on Thursday. As a member of the first unit, Bagley III has averaged 16.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks this season.

Kyshawn George Upgraded to Available on Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (toe) has been upgraded to available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. George was questionable coming into this game due to a left big toe contusion. He played 31 minutes during Monday's game, so it was unclear if the Wizards would be cautious during the second leg of the back-to-back set. George is looking for better results after going 3-for-11 from the floor during Monday's game. He figures to play around 30 minutes again with Khris Middleton (rest) unavailable on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should make sure to get George in their lineups ahead of Tuesday's tip-off.

Alexandre Sarr Out of Action Again on Tuesday

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (adductor) won't suit up against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick will miss his second game in a row due to a sore right adductor. His next chance to get back on the floor comes on Thursday against the Celtics. The 22-year-old big man is having a productive campaign so far, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks. Marvin Bagley III and Tristan Vukcevic will both see action at center with Sarr out this evening. Bagley is an excellent streaming option, as he finished with 22 points and eight rebounds across 29 minutes on Monday while Sarr was sidelined.

Khris Middleton • SF • Wizards

Khris Middleton Will Not Play Tuesday

Washington Wizards forward Khris Middleton (injury management) will not play Tuesday on the second night of the team's back-to-back when they visit the Sixers in Philadelphia. Middleton has played 15 minutes with the Wizards, averaging 10.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 0.7 steals per game. Without Middleton, Cam Whitmore and Justin Champagnie should both set up for more work on Tuesday, especially if Kyshawn Goerge (toe, questionable) is out as well.

Kyshawn George • SF • Wizards

Kyshawn George Is Questionable Against the 76ers

Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (toe) played 31 minutes on Monday night but is listed as questionable with a left big toe contusion for the second game of the team's back-to-back. George had nine points, five assists, and three rebounds in the Wizards' win in Milwaukee, and the team has a rare chance for consecutive victories with their stop in Philadelphia on Tuesday. George is averaging 15.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 4.8 assists in his 17 games his season, and he has shown a very high ceiling as a fantasy contributor, even though he has been very boom or bust. If George is out Tuesday, Cam Whitmore will likely take on a huge role with veteran Khris Middleton (rest) ruled out.

Alexandre Sarr Won't Play Versus Milwaukee

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (adductor) won't play on Monday night against the Bucks. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick has had a quality 2025 campaign, averaging 19.1 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks, all career-highs. He missed two games over a week ago because of a toe injury, although, this time, he'll be sidelined due to adductor soreness. Sarr's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. In the meantime, Marvin Bagley III, who had 13 points, seven boards, three steals, and one block in his only start this season, is the favorite to replace Sarr in the rotation, making him an attractive fantasy commodity for those in need of a temporary streaming option.

Alexandre Sarr Iffy for Monday

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (adductor) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The French big man is dealing with a sore adductor muscle. Monday marks the start of a back-to-back for Washington, so it appears likely that at least one absence is coming for Sarr at the start of the new week. His exit from the lineup would probably give Marvin Bagley a fresh opportunity to start. Bagley made his first start of the campaign on Nov. 19 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block. Tristan Vukcevic could also see more action with Sarr out.

Kyshawn George Returns to Lineup After One-Game Absence

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (illness) is back in the starting group after missing one game and remains firmly on the breakout track. He delivered 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists in his last appearance and continues to produce mid-round numbers with 16.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists on strong shooting. His return tightens Washington's rotation and trims opportunities for Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, and Justin Champagnie, each of whom had seen expanded usage. George remains a reliable all-formats option with stable usage and minutes.

Corey Kispert Suffers Thumb Injury on Tuesday Night

Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert (thumb) exited Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Atlanta Hawks. He did not return. The 26-year-old was well on his way to having his best game of the 2025 campaign before a right thumb injury ended his night after 24 minutes. He'd go on to finish with 19 points, three steals, and one block while shooting 4-for-8 from behind the three-point line. Kispert will presumably undergo further testing heading into Friday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. If he ends up missing time, Justin Champagnie and Cam Whitmore could see more work, with one potentially entering the starting lineup.

Marvin Bagley III Ruled Out Versus Atlanta

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hip) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged only 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest this season, so there aren't very many fantasy managers awaiting his return. While there might be streaming opportunities down the line if Alexandre Sarr misses time, Bagley currently isn't worth rostering in most fantasy setups. With that said, his absence will still open the door for more minutes from Tristan Vukcevic, who is coming off a 12-point, eight-rebound, two-block, two-steal showing in Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Tre Johnson Out Indefinitely With Hip-Flexor Strain

Washington Wizards guard Tre Johnson (hip) has been ruled out indefinitely after re-aggravating a lingering injury from his college days, and the team has yet to set a timetable for his return. Johnson averaged 11.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.2 blocks over his last five outings while shooting 50.0 percent from the field. The injury shift pushes more minutes to Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert, and Bilal Coulibaly, giving Carrington some streaming appeal for assists and Kispert value for three-pointers.

Marvin Bagley III • PF • Wizards

Marvin Bagley III Listed as Questionable vs. Hawks

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hip) is questionable for Tuesday against Atlanta after missing the past two games. Before the injury, he averaged 9.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.0 block in 18.5 minutes across his last five outings. His absence has pushed more frontcourt work to second-year big Alexandre Sarr, who posted 16 points and 11 rebounds in his last game, while Tristan Vukcevic added 12 points and eight boards in 20 minutes. Sarr holds steady value, and Vukcevic remains a deeper-league streaming option until Bagley returns.

Kyshawn George Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with Atlanta after posting 17 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists with four steals in his last outing. He has averaged 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 6.4 assists across his past five games, so even a brief absence would redistribute wing minutes. Corey Kispert posted 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in 37 minutes. Cam Whitmore chipped in 20 points and seven boards across 18 minutes, while Bilal Coulibaly's recent best sits at 13 points and four rebounds. All three could see modest bumps in minutes and touches if George sits.

Marvin Bagley III to Miss Friday's Game Against Raptors

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors after being downgraded from doubtful, leaving Washington without both of its primary bigs. Bagley started for Alexandre Sarr (toe) on Wednesday and logged 13 points, seven rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes, and he has averaged 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes this season. With Bagley and Sarr sidelined, the Wizards are forced into a thin frontcourt rotation featuring Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill, with Vukcevic offering the most short-term appeal for deep formats. Cam Whitmore and Kyshawn George may also see steadier usage as Washington redistributes possessions and rebounding opportunities.

Alexandre Sarr Ruled Out for a Second Straight Game

Washington Wizards center Alexandre Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for his second straight game after being downgraded from questionable, removing one of the team's most productive starters from the rotation versus the Raptors. Sarr has averaged 18.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 29 minutes with strong efficiency, so his absence forces Washington into a patchwork frontcourt. Marvin Bagley III (hip), who started in his place Wednesday, is also out, leaving Tristan Vukcevic and Anthony Gill to cover most of the center minutes. While both Gill and Vukcevic are still risky fantasy options, they both have a higher ceiling than usual on Friday night, giving them deep-league streaming appeal.

Marvin Bagley III Doubtful as Wizards Frontcourt Thins

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hip) is doubtful for Friday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors after starting in place of Alexandre Sarr (toe) on Wednesday. Bagley played 30 minutes in that game and produced 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block, but his right hip contusion now puts Washington's frontcourt back in flux. If he sits, Tristan Vukcevic and Cam Whitmore become deeper-league options for rebounds and low-end scoring, while Sarr would return to a heavier role if cleared. Bagley's recent minutes spike appears temporary, and his value depends entirely on Sarr's status. Managers in standard formats can leave him on the wire unless the injury report breaks in his favor.
