Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie has 15/11/3 line in loss
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:31 AM
Justin Champagnie had 15 points (7-of-9 FGs), 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Khris Middleton missed Saturday's game with a foot injury with Will Riley replacing him in the starting lineup. Champagnie outplayed Riley, though, and ended up playing more minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old shooting guard had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Champagnie has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks, showing he has some fantasy value in the sixth man role with the Wizards. |

NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: This will be a fifth straight absence for Vuk?evi?, but that typically doesn't impact Washington's rotation. However, with Marvin Bagley also sidelined, Vuk?evi? would've filled the backup minutes if available. That role will now fall to Anthony Gill. |

NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Bagley, though the first one was due to an illness. Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is also out, so Anthony Gill will fill out the backup center minutes. Gill isn't worth streaming. |

NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (foot) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Middleton had previously been dealing with a knee injury, but now it is a foot issue that is giving him trouble. If he isn't available against Charlotte, Justin Champagnie would likely slide into the starting lineup, with Will Riley taking on extra minutes off the bench. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 10:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Coulibaly will miss a fifth straight game, and he has immediately been ruled out instead of being listed as questionable at first, which can be a sign that a player could be a little further away from returning. Bub Carrington should continue to start in his stead. |

Marvin Bagley Bagley downgraded to out on Thursday
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 8:39 AM
NBA.com
Marvin Bagley III (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are both out on Thursday, which means the Wizards don't have a true backup center. Then again, it might not matter on Thursday since the Nuggets are also without their only two centers. Jamir Watkins could see minutes as the backup big man, and Khris Middleton could also spend extra time at power forward or as the big man in smaller lineups. |

Analysis: This will be Coulibaly's fourth straight missed game. The 21-year-old has only played in 25 games this season as he's battled multiple injuries. Bub Carrington should continue to start with Justin Champagnie playing the sixth man role off the bench. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley, AJ Johnson questionable Thursday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 10:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley III (illness) and AJ Johnson (illness) are questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Bagley's status is more impactful, as he serves as Alex Sarr's backup while Johnson is not in the Wizards' rotation on most nights. With Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) out, the Wizards would have to go small if Bagley doesn't play. However, neither he nor Johnson moves the needle in fantasy basketball. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (illness) questionable Thursday
Wed, Jan 21, 2026, 10:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Middleton is one of three Wizards players listed as questionable for Thursday's game due to illness. However, he's the only one who's a lock to start if available. Who would replace Middleton in the lineup may depend on Bilal Coulibaly, who's questionable with a lower back strain. If Coulibaly can play after a three-game absence, the Wizards could go small and keep Bub Carrington in the starting five. |

NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Coulibaly has missed Washington's last three games with a lower back strain, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Bub Carrington. The second-year guard should remain in the starting five if Coulibaly has to miss a fourth consecutive game. |

Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? will miss a third consecutive game with a knee injury. His continued absence does not affect the Wizards' rotation, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III are healthy. |

NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is out for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Coulibaly injured his back during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers and will not be available for Monday's rematch, making it three consecutive games on the sidelines. Bub Carrington has started the last two games and should remain in that role, raising his fantasy ceiling. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton hits two triples, scores 16 points
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 5:52 PM
Khris Middleton amassed 16 points (6-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Middleton was back in the Wizards' lineup after sitting out Friday's loss to the Kings, pushing Justin Champagnie (13/9/1/3 in 26 minutes) to the bench. Middleton was productive in his 27 minutes, but the few who have him rostered should be hoping to see him traded before the February 5 deadline. Already not playing both games of back-to-backs, availability could become an even bigger issue for Middleton managers if he isn't traded. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) remains out vs. Denver
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 8:24 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) has been ruled out against the Nuggets on Saturday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? will miss a second straight game, but with both Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III healthy and available, he likely wouldn't have seen the floor much regardless. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) off injury report vs. DEN
Sat, Jan 17, 2026, 8:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is not on the injury report against the Nuggets on Saturday.
Analysis: Middleton sat the first leg of this back-to-back, but he will be back to take on Denver. His return should push Bub Carrington back to the bench after he nearly recorded a double-double as a starter in Friday's loss. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (back) out Saturday vs. Denver
Fri, Jan 16, 2026, 9:37 AM
Joshua Robbins
Bilal Coulibaly (back) has returned to Washington to begin receiving treatment and will not be available for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Coulibaly played the first ten minutes of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers before leaving with lower back tightness. Already ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings, he has traveled back to Washington to begin treatment. With Coulibaly out for the final game of the road trip, rookie Will Riley should see extended minutes in both games of the back-to-back. While not a must-stream player, Riley is worth watching with an eye toward the âsilly season.â |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) out Friday vs. Sacramento
Thu, Jan 15, 2026, 1:52 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Due to a sore left knee, Vuk?evi? will not be available for Friday's game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III will be available. Sarr was ejected during the second quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Clippers, resulting in more minutes for Bagley, while Vuk?evi? only played eight minutes. |
