Colby Jones Colby Jones tallies 20 points, 10 rebounds vs. MIA
Sun, Apr 13, 2025, 9:29 AM
Colby Jones accounted for 20 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 10 rebounds and four assists in 42 minutes in Sunday's win over the Heat.
Analysis: Like fellow reserve Tristan Vukcevic, Jones experienced an increase in playing time due to the starter's minutes being limited. Kyshawn George (5/2/1 with one three-pointer) played 15 minutes, with Jones being the beneficiary on a day when Washington only played seven. The second-year wing recorded his first career double-double, with the stat line including a career-high 10 rebounds. While George appears to have the edge regarding 2025-26 fantasy value, Jones is worth watching during Summer League play. The move from Sacramento to Washington has resulted in him receiving more opportunities to play, which he needed. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vukcevic records 28/11/5/0/1 stat line
Sun, Apr 13, 2025, 9:25 AM
Tristan Vukcevic finished Sunday's win over the Heat with 28 points (9-of-12 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and four three-pointers in 39 minutes.
Analysis: While Alexandre Sarr (10/8/4/1 with one three-pointer) remained in the starting lineup for Sunday's season finale, the rookie was limited to 16 minutes in Miami. Vukcevic played the lion's share of the minutes at the center position, and the second-year pivot was outstanding. The 28 points were a career-high for the 6-foot-10 Wizard, who scored 14 or more in five of his last six appearances. Vukcevic's fantasy value for next season is limited due to Sarr being the Wizards' post player of the future. However, Vukcevic's finish should keep the 22-year-old in the discussion for a rotation spot off the bench. |

JT Thor JT Thor (knee) downgraded to out Sunday vs. Miami
Sun, Apr 13, 2025, 5:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
JT Thor (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Sunday's season finale, Thor will not play. Given the length of Washington's injury report, rookie starters Alexandre Sarr and Kyshawn George may play a few minutes more than they have in recent games. Also, look for Tristan Vukcevic and Colby Jones to log heavy minutes off the bench. |

Saddiq Bey Update: Saddiq Bey (knee) out Sunday vs. Miami
Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 11:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Updating a prior blurb, Saddiq Bey (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: The Wizards mistakenly listed Bey as available for the regular-season finale on the initial injury report. He will not play against the Heat, meaning Wizards fans will have to wait until the fall to see Bey debut for the team. |

JT Thor JT Thor (knee) questionable Sunday vs. Miami
Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 10:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
JT Thor (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Thor's status for Sunday's season finale is in some doubt. Rotation minutes should be available if he can play, with most of the Wizards' veterans unavailable. However, Thor is not in a position to be trusted in active fantasy leagues. |

Saddiq Bey Saddiq Bey (knee) available Sunday vs. Miami
Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 10:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Saddiq Bey (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: After suffering a torn ACL late last season, Bey has not appeared in a game during his first season with the Wizards. That will likely change on Sunday, as he's available after a rehabilitation stint in the G League. Fantasy managers in active leagues should not expect much from Bey, as his playing time will likely be restricted. |

Jordan Poole Jordan Poole, Richaun Holmes out Sunday vs. Miami
Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 10:46 AM
Jordan Poole (elbow) and Richaun Holmes (shoulder) are out for Sunday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Poole and Holmes will not be available for Sunday's season finale, with the former's absence being more impactful. Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson have been the starting guards, which will likely remain the case against the Heat. Poole's 2024-25 season was very good for him, even if the individual resurgence did not result in more wins for the Wizards. As for Holmes, he had a limited impact on fantasy basketball and is unlikely to be a draftable player in most fantasy leagues next fall. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vukcevic scores 17 points off bench
Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 4:41 PM
Tristan Vukcevic provided a boost off the bench with 17 points (7-of-14 FGs), three rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Vukcevic was able to provide some offense off the bench for Washington in a game where the team struggled to score. He scored 11 of their 43 points in the first half and was one of four players to score in double figures in a game where they scored just 89 points as a team. This is the second year in a row where Vukcevic has had a strong finish to the season, but it's unclear how he'll fit into the rotation next season. Still, he'll play a lot in Miami on Sunday to close out the season. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie puts up 22/14 double-double
Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 4:29 PM
Justin Champagnie led the Wizards with 22 points (9-of-15 FGs), 14 rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in a 119-89 loss to the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: The double-double streak stayed alive for Champagnie as he finished with at least 10 points and 10 rebounds for a fourth-straight game on Friday. This tied his season-high for rebounds and was his highest-scoring performance since he scored 31 points in a loss to the Knicks in December. Champagnie should continue to play a significant role for Washington in their season finale in Miami on Sunday, though it's unclear what his role will look like next year with a healthy Wizards team. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton likely to remain out Sunday
Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 2:33 PM
Varun Shankar
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said that Khris Middleton (knee) is likely to miss the rest of the season.
Analysis: Middleton had already been ruled out for Friday's game, so this update from Keefe just simply means that Middleton will likely miss a ninth-straight game on Sunday in the regular season finale. As if anyone was expecting him to play in that. Thanks coach. Washington will continue to rely on the young guys against Miami on Sunday. |

JT Thor JT Thor (knee) available Friday vs. Bulls
Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 8:38 AM
JT Thor (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Thor is active but will likely play a limited role as a backup forward. |
|
Richaun Holmes Richaun Holmes (shoulder) out Friday vs. Bulls
Fri, Apr 11, 2025, 8:35 AM
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Holmes is set to miss his fifth straight game on Friday. Tristan Vukcevic can continue to take advantage of his absence as Washington's backup center. |

Richaun Holmes Richaun Holmes doubtful, JT Thor questionable Fri.
Thu, Apr 10, 2025, 12:06 PM
NBA Injury Report
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Bulls and JT Thor (knee) is questionable.
Analysis: Holmes has missed Washington's last four games and appears likely to miss a fifth on Friday. With Anthony Gill (hamstring) already out, Thor is one of the Wizards who may pick up a few more minutes if he can go. Tristan Vukcevic would be the big âwinnerâ regarding playing time; he's worth slotting into lineups in deep leagues that are still active. |

Jordan Poole Jordan Poole, Khris Middleton out Friday vs. CHI
Thu, Apr 10, 2025, 11:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jordan Poole (elbow) and Khris Middleton (knee) are out against the Bulls on Friday.
Analysis: Neither Poole nor Middleton has officially been shut down for the rest of the season. However, with Washington in position to solidify having the best odds of earning a top-4 pick in next month's draft lottery, it would be surprising if either veteran played in the team's final two games. They won't be available on Friday, meaning AJ Johnson and Justin Champagnie should remain in the starting lineup. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie grabs game-high 12 rebounds
Wed, Apr 9, 2025, 4:26 PM
Justin Champagnie recorded 14 points (5-of-12 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in 38 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Champagnie extended his double-double streak to three games on Wednesday as he continued to provide solid value as part of the Wizards' starting lineup. With little reason for the Wizards to put Khris Middleton back on the court this season, Champagnie's place in the starting lineup appears secure for the final two games. He is worth rostering in active leagues. AJ Johnson (7/4/3 with one three-pointer) is also worth a look, despite shooting poorly (1-of-11 FGs) against the 76ers. |

Richaun Holmes Richaun Holmes (shoulder) out Wednesday vs. 76ers
Wed, Apr 9, 2025, 11:34 AM
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Holmes is out for the fourth game in a row with a shoulder injury. Tristan Vukcevic is likely to continue to take his minutes off the bench, though he doesn't have much fantasy value in a back up role. |

NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vukcevic (knee) is off the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Vukcevic is set to return from a two-game layoff. The backup center will have less competition than usual with Richaun Holmes (shoulder) listed as doubtful and should get plenty of time behind Alexandre Sarr. |

Wed, Apr 9, 2025, 8:43 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Gill didn't return after tweaking his hamstring against the Pacers. His absence will open up minutes for JT Thor. |

NBA Injury Report
Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Holmes is expected to miss his fourth-straight game on Wednesday. Tristan Vukcevic should continue to absorb minutes off the bench if Holmes is ruled out. |

Wed, Apr 9, 2025, 8:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Jordan Poole (elbow) and Khris Middleton (knee) have been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Poole missed a game last week with an elbow injury while Middleton has played sparingly since joining Washington. AJ Johnson will likely get a chance to start for Poole, and Justin Champagnie should remain a starting forward. |
