Anthony Gill Anthony Gill (back, head) upgraded to available
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 6:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (back, head) is available for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Gill is good to go for Sunday's season finale after being injured during Friday's loss to the Heat. While he has started games recently, Julian Reese has been the more productive option, as the rookie has played more minutes. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly, Johnson, Vuk?evi? out vs. Cleveland
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 1:32 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel), Tre Johnson (foot) and Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) are out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: The Wizards will be light on options for Sunday's season finale, especially on the perimeter. The absence of Coulibaly and Johnson will mean more opportunities for Will Riley and Leaky Black. As for Vuk?evi?, his continued absence does not change much in the frontcourt, with the Wizards continuing to rely on Julian Reese. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill (back, head) questionable vs. CLE
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 1:26 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (back, head) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: In addition to his back injury, Gill took a shot to the head during Friday's loss to the Heat. While the veteran forward/center was not officially ruled out at the time, he's dealing with a headache, so Gill is on the injury report. Julian Reese has been productive recently and is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues, regardless of Gill's availability. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly records 25/5/5/1/1 stat line
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 3:30 PM
Bilal Coulibaly recorded 25 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTa), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday's loss to the Heat.
Analysis: Back in the lineup after missing Thursday's loss to the Bulls, Coulibaly recorded his first stat line this season with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists. Given the Wizards' many young wings and the fact that they'll likely hold onto their top-8 protected first-round pick, Coulibaly will face significant competition for rotation minutes when training camp opens next fall. Nights like Friday can only strengthen his case for a starting spot. |

Bilal Coulibaly WAS starts Bub, Coulibaly, Black, Gill, Reese
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 12:43 PM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Leaky Black, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese will start Friday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Coulibaly is back after missing Thursday's loss to the Bulls and reclaims his place in the starting lineup. Will Riley heads to the bench, but he should still play plenty due to the Wizards still being shorthanded on the wings. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) good to go Friday
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 9:01 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is available for Friday's matchup with the Heat.
Analysis: Coulibaly will return to play the second leg of Washington's back-to-back set after sitting out Thursday's matchup with the Bulls. He should handle his typical workload for Washington's 81st game of the season. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black plays 41 minutes, scores 14 points
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 3:33 PM
Leaky Black recorded 14 points (6-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Bulls.
Analysis: A common practice of lottery-bound teams at this stage of the season is to play their two-way and 10-day contract guys heavy minutes. Black played 41 minutes on Thursday, and while the stat line wasn't exactly robust, he finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Playing time shouldn't be an issue for Leaky in Washington's final two games of the season, so those in active leagues should consider picking him up. |

Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 6:30 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaden Hardy (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Hardy did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, which factored into Sharife Cooper playing 27 minutes off the bench. Cooper should take on a similar workload in Thursday's rematch. |

Analysis: Gill will be in the Wizards' rotation on Thursday, but the playing time may be limited. He logged 16 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, with Julian Reese playing 36. The rookie forward/center may be the safer option for fantasy managers in active leagues. |

NBA Injury Report

Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 11:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jaden Hardy (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Even with Hardy unavailable for Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, the Wizards had enough available players to roll out a nine-man rotation. If he can play in Thursday's rematch, Hardy should get minutes off the bench, especially with Bilal Coulibaly listed as questionable. |

Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 11:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (back) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Gill started Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, but a cervical lumbar contusion limited him to 16 minutes. Julian Reese, who also started on Tuesday, logged 36 minutes. He may have to take on an even heavier workload, as the Wizards remain without Alex Sarr and Tristan Vuk?evi?. |

Analysis: Champagnie was also questionable ahead of Tuesday's loss to the Bulls, a game in which he played 29 minutes off the bench. If available, he'll take on a similar role on Thursday. Jamir Watkins may take on additional minutes if Champagnie can't play. |

Trae Young Keefe: Young (quad) not expected back this season
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 11:34 AM
Chase Hughes
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday that Trae Young (back, quad) is not expected to play again this season.
Analysis: While the Wizards kept the door open on a return at some point before the end of the season, Young's remaining sidelined is no surprise. He appeared in five games after being traded from Atlanta to Washington and is expected to be one of the Wizards' cornerstones moving forward. Young's recent injury history will make it challenging to trust him with a first-round pick in fantasy drafts next fall. Still, he has the potential to offer that kind of value, especially for managers punting turnovers. |

Anthony Davis Keefe: Anthony Davis (hand) not expected to play
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 11:32 AM
Chase Hughes
Wizards coach Brian Keefe told reporters Anthony Davis (hand) isn't expected to play again this season.
Analysis: Davis was cleared for light contact last week as the Wizards tried to ramp up the 33-year-old center for a return, but just ran out of time. With Davis this close to returning, he should have a normal offseason and be ready for the start of next year. |

Jaden Hardy (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Hardy was initially listed as questionable with back spasms, but has since been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Bulls. Leaky Black could be of added importance with Tre Johnson (foot) also sidelined. |

Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 10:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is out for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls.
Analysis: With Vuk?evi? sidelined, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese should hold things down at center for the Wizards in a favorable matchup with Chicago. |

NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Justin Champagnie (knee) are available for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Champagnie will return following one-game absences after the pair sat out Sunday's matchup with the Nets. Jamir Watkins and Leaky Black should see their roles reduced with Coulibaly and Champagnie back in action. |
