Bub Carrington Upgraded To Available Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Bub Carrington (illness) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Thursday night and will face off against the Charlotte Hornets. The rookie entered the starting lineup again over the last five games after a stint coming off of the bench. Unfortunately, his shooting efficiency still hasn't been great with a 30% mark from the floor over his last four starts. In that time, he's averaged 7.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.8 turnovers per game.

Malcolm Brogdon Rejoins Practice

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) was back in practice on Tuesday. He's missed four games with a left hamstring strain but appears to be on track to return to action soon. The oft-injured guard has appeared in only nine games this season, averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 23.8 minutes. Brogdon has been a regular starter despite seeing limited minutes. Kyshawn George (ankle) and Corey Kispert (ankle) also practiced on Tuesday, so Washington might get much-needed help for Thursday's encounter with Charlotte. Justin Champagnie and Jared Butler will be bumped down the depth chart once the Wizards return to full health.

Kyle Kuzma Ramping Up

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) wasn't available for Tuesday's practice but is ramping up in his recovery. Kuzma suffered a rib cartilage sprain on Nov. 27 in a game against the Clippers. He's been out for the subsequent seven contests. It looks like Kuzma still needs more time to recover, but his return shouldn't be far away anymore. The 29-year-old sits second in scoring on the team with 15.8 points per game and has averaged 5.6 rebounds. Bilal Coulibaly's role on offense has grown during Kuzma's absence. He's averaged 21.0 points across the past three games.

Kyle Kuzma Out Again Friday Against Cavaliers

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out again for the sixth consecutive game since injuring his ribs against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 27. The veteran power forward has yet to find his footing this year in the midst of the injuries he's experienced. Right now, his numbers have decreased across the board from last season, especially in scoring and efficiency. In his place, Justin Champagnie will likely continue to get some more playing time. Champagnie has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game over the last three games.

Malcolm Brogdon Out Again On Friday Night

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) won't play in Friday's game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brogdon began the year on the shelf because of a thumb injury before making his 2024-25 debut against the Pistons on November 17. However, he'll now miss a third-straight game because of hamstring inflammation. The 32-year-old hasn't played the best in his first season in Washington, averaging only 13.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 33.3% shooting from behind the arc. But with the Wizards down Brogdon, Kyle Kuzma (rib), Corey Kispert (ankle), and Kyshawn George (ankle), Justin Champagnie, Jordan Poole, and Jonas Valanciunas may do most of the heavy lifting offensively.

Alexandre Sarr Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against Denver. He was already iffy for the game after the team gave him a questionable designation on the injury report. Sarr's injury gives Jonas Valanciunas another opportunity to start, and we might have another Marvin Bagley III sighting on the Wizards' frontcourt. On Thursday, he came out of nowhere to produce a solid line as a starter versus Dallas, recording 16 points, eight rebounds, and two steals.

Corey Kispert  • SF  •  Wizards

Corey Kispert Out On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Corey Kispert (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a left ankle sprain. This will mark his second consecutive game missed. With multiple players on the injury list, younger players like Carlton Carrington, Johnny Davis, and Jared Butler are expected to see increased playing time. Kispert has been averaging 27.8 minutes per game, so there will be plenty of minutes available for others to step up. His next chance to return is set for Sunday's matchup against Memphis.

Kyle Kuzma Will Be Sidelined On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sprained left rib. With Kuzma struggling to match his strong numbers from last season, this injury adds to his challenges. He's averaging 27.4 minutes, 15.8 points, and 5.6 rebounds per game this year, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Memphis. In the meantime, Bilal Coulibaly, Carlton Carrington, and Johnny Davis are expected to step up and fill the void.

Malcolm Brogdon Ruled Out For Saturday

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard had been playing well, recording two double-doubles in his last seven games, so his absence is a setback. He is dealing with inflammation in his left hamstring, and fantasy owners are hoping it's not a long-term issue. With Brogdon sidelined, Carlton Carrington is expected to see an increased role. Brogdon's next opportunity to play will be Sunday against Memphis.

Kyshawn George  • SF  •  Wizards

Kyshawn George Not Playing On Saturday

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets due to a sprained left ankle. This will be George's second consecutive game missed. In his absence, Carlton Carrington, Johnny Davis, and Jared Butler are expected to see more playing time. George has been a bit inconsistent this season but has averaged 26.2 minutes per game as part of the young Wizards squad. His next opportunity to return will be Sunday's game against Memphis.

Malcolm Brogdon Exits Thursday's Game Early With Left-Hamstring Tightness

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon exited Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks early with what the team is describing as left hamstring tightness. Brogdon has been ruled out and won't return. The 31-year-old put up 16 points in 25 minutes. He has averaged 13.5 PPG and 4.3 RPG in eight games this season coming into Thursday. Brogdon missed much of October and November while recovering from thumb surgery so this is an unfortunate turn for his season. If he is forced to miss any time, expect Carlton Carrington to get more minutes.

Marvin Bagley III  • PF  •  Wizards

Marvin Bagley III Draws Rare Start

Washington Wizards forward Marvin Bagley III will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It looks like the Wizards have decided to shake up their starting five and give Bagley a bigger look. It's worth noting that Bagley has played nine minutes or less in every game this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Bagley in this one considering he has barely played. Jonas Valanciunas will come off the bench, but is the much better streaming option between the two ahead of this game.

Kyshawn George  • SF  •  Wizards

Kyshawn George Not Playing Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 20-year-old rookie sustained a left ankle sprain during Tuesday's loss to Cleveland, sidelining him for at least one game. His next chance to return will be Saturday against Denver. George has been a key piece in the Wizards' development plans, averaging 26.2 minutes and 7.5 points per game this season. In his absence, Jared Butler could step into a larger role for the young and rebuilding Washington squad.

Malcolm Brogdon Available Thursday

The Washington Wizards announced that guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) will play against Dallas on Thursday. Brogdon was listed as questionable earlier, but he's since been upgraded to available despite suffering from soreness in his right knee. The 31-year-old has struggled with injuries these last few seasons. However, he has played reasonably well when healthy, posting averages of 16.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 24.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Corey Kispert  • SF  •  Wizards

Corey Kispert Absent On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert (ankle) will miss his first game of the season on Thursday against Dallas. He has been ruled out with a left ankle sprain, joining Kyle Kuzma (ribs) and Kyshawn George (ankle) on the shelf. These three have all averaged at least 26 minutes of action per game this season. This leaves a lot of minutes to be filled for the rest of the gang. Carlton Carrington and Jared Butler should getter a bigger workload on Thursday, with Johnny Davis also in the mix for an expanded role.

Kyle Kuzma Out On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Kuzma injured his groin during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, so fantasy managers already had an idea this was coming. He's already missed five games this season because of a rib injury. However, it's anyone's guess when the 29-year-old will be back on the floor. But until Kuzma returns, Kyshawn George, averaging 12.3 points and 5.3 boards in six starts this season, is worth streaming, although his 26.1% shooting from deep won't be appreciated by category managers.

Kyle Kuzma Injured On Wednesday Night

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (rib) exited Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He did not return. The 29-year-old wasn't on the court long, logging only eight minutes before calling it a night because of a rib sprain. But now the real question is if he'll be ready to go Saturday's game in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, fantasy managers are used to this, so they are already preparing for Kuzma to miss at least a game or two. He'll likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Poole should benefit if Kuzma spends time on the shelf. Alexandre Sarr, Malcolm Brogdon, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibaly could also see an uptick in production.

Jordan Poole  • PG  •  Wizards

Jordan Poole Unavailable On Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to left hip flexor soreness. He was also sidelined Sunday versus the Pacers. Poole has been a critical contributor for the Wizards this season, averaging 21.2 points per contest and shooting 44.3% from beyond the arc. In his most recent outing against the Boston Celtics, he posted 23 points and logged eight assists. Fantasy managers are hoping to see him back in action soon.

Jordan Poole Is Questionable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to left hip flexor soreness. The 25-year-old is at risk of missing a second consecutive game after sitting out Sunday's contest. Poole has been a key scorer for the Wizards, averaging 21.2 points per game, and he's shooting 44.3% from beyond the arc this season. In his most recent game against Boston, Poole scored 23 points and added eight assists. Fantasy managers will be hoping to have him back in action to bolster their lineups.

Alexandre Sarr  • PF  •  Wizards

Alexandre Sarr Will Play Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) has been cleared to play on Sunday against Indiana. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Sarr tends to be inconsistent with his offensive output but has been a vital presence on the defensive end for the Wizards, averaging 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds with 2.0 blocks for the season. Sunday's game in Indianapolis is a wonderful matchup from a fantasy perspective, as both teams like to push the pace but struggle on the defensive end -- Washington has the league's worst defensive rating, while Indiana is ranked 24th.
