Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (illness) questionable Sunday
Sat, Jan 3, 2026, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? was held out of Friday's win over the Nets, but his absence did not significantly affect the Wizards' rotation since Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III were available. He'll be third in the pecking order if allowed to play against the Timberwolves. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie has 20 points vs. Nets Friday
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 3:45 PM
Justin Champagnie had 20 points (9-of-12 FGs), seven rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Champagnie came off the bench and had a team-high 20 points in the win over the Nets on Friday. The 24-year-old shooting guard hit a three-pointer in the third quarter and received a technical foul for his celebration, which drew the ire of the entire Nets bench. Otherwise, it was an uneventful 20-point blowout win. Champagnie has provided 10th-round per game value over the last two weeks. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum has 17/6/4 line in win over Nets
Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 3:33 PM
CJ McCollum had 17 points (7-of-14 FGs), six rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in the Wizards' 119-99 victory over the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: McCollum was coming off making a game-winning shot against the Bucks on Wednesday. The 34-year-old shooting guard continues to play at a high level as he led the Wizards to a blowout victory over the Nets Friday. McCollum was +18 in 31 minutes in the 20-point win. While he's been a solid player this year, the Wizards are still 9-24. It's fair to wonder if a contender would be interested in acquiring McCollum ahead of next month's trade deadline. |

Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? was initially questionable for Friday's game. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball or the Wizards' rotation, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley are available. |

Fri, Jan 2, 2026, 7:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (illness) is questionable to play against the Nets on Friday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? is a late addition to the injury report, but with both Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley healthy, Vuk?evi?'s status won't impact Washington's rotation. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores 18, sinks game-winner vs. Bucks
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 5:32 PM
CJ McCollum added 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.
Analysis: McCollum had shot just 1-of-4 from the field during the fourth quarter in the lead-up to his game-winning pull-up jumper. Yet, with the dagger, he finished as the team's third-leading scorer on the night and tallied his seventh straight game with at least 14 points and five assists. The veteran guard isn't putting up eye-opening stat lines at this point, but he remains very involved on the offensive end on a nightly basis. McCollum should continue to put up solid fantasy numbers so long as he is a Washington Wizard. |

Khris Middleton Middleton, CJ, Tre, Sarr, Coulibaly to start Wed.
Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 1:43 PM
Greg Finberg
CJ McCollum, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr and Khris Middleton will start on Wednesday against the Bucks.
Analysis: Middleton (knee) is back in the starting lineup after missing Monday's contest against Phoenix, which sends Jamir Watkins back to the Washington bench. The Wizards had won two straight games before the recent loss to the Suns. With the return of their veteran forward, they'll look to get back on track against a Bucks team that seems to be finding its groove. |

Malaki Branham Malaki Branham (calf) questionable vs. Milwaukee
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 10:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malaki Branham (calf) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Sunday.
Analysis: Branham's role has been a minimal one, and even when he's gotten the chance to play extra minutes, he hasn't done much in the box score. His absence won't have much of an impact on the Wizards' rotation and certainly won't alter fantasy lineups. |
|
Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) absent from injury report
Tue, Dec 30, 2025, 10:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: Middleton did not play in Monday's loss to the Suns, as it was Washington's second game in as many nights. Jamir Watkins filled the resulting void in the starting lineup, and he'll head back to the bench with Middleton available. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum posts 17 points, two blocked shots
Mon, Dec 29, 2025, 3:28 PM
CJ McCollum tallied 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in Monday's loss to the Suns.
Analysis: While backcourt partner Tre Johnson could not miss from downtown on Monday, making all five of his three-point attempts, McCollum was ice-cold. The veteran guard was 0-of-5 from deep, a negative for what could have been an outstanding offensive night. McCollum is providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, doing enough to provide consistent fantasy value. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie grabs game-high 12 rebounds
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:39 PM
Justin Champagnie accounted for 10 points (3-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Champagnie wasn't the pick to fill in for the injured Kyshawn George on Sunday, as Tre Johnson received the starting nod, but that did not prevent him from providing value. Champagnie recorded his second double-double of the season and was an assist shy of a complete stat line. And a return to the starting lineup could be in the cards with the Wizards hosting the Suns on Monday. Khris Middleton (10/6/2/1/1) has not played both games of any back-to-backs this season, so he may be trending toward not playing. If he sits, Champagnie has a good chance of starting. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly posts 14/8/2/3/1 line vs. Memphis
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 2:38 PM
Bilal Coulibaly amassed 14 points (6-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, three steals and one blocked shot in Sunday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: While his season-long fantasy value has not met expectations, Coulibaly has been a better asset to category-league managers recently. Over the past week, he has provided top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50 in the latter. Coulibaly is rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and those who have held onto him for this long might as well remain patient. The third-year wing missed both games of Washington's most recent back-to-back, so he should be considered questionable for Monday's game against the Suns. |

Malaki Branham Malaki Branham (thumb) available vs. Memphis
Sun, Dec 28, 2025, 9:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malaki Branham (thumb) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Sunday.
Analysis: Branham will be available to suit up after initially being listed as questionable. However, his role this season has been minimal, so he likely won't see the floor much in this game. |

Corey Kispert Corey Kispert (hamstring) out Sunday vs. Memphis
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 10:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Corey Kispert (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Kispert's continued absence does not significantly affect fantasy basketball, but it does free up minutes for some of Washington's other wings. Tre Johnson has not reached the point where he's a must-stream player, but that may change later in the season. |

Malaki Branham Malaki Branham (thumb) questionable Sunday vs. MEM
Sat, Dec 27, 2025, 10:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malaki Branham (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Branham is still dealing with a sprained right thumb. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball, as the former first-round pick is not guaranteed to play rotation minutes. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum hits three triples, scores 21 points
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:28 PM
CJ McCollum amassed 21 points (8-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: McCollum has scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight games. He has been one of the few Wizards to provide consistent fantasy value this season, which is unsurprising, given his career track record. McCollum's role is secure for now, but his name is one to watch ahead of the February trade deadline. A move to another team may be what ensures the veteran guard of a consistent role through the fantasy playoffs, as that may not be guaranteed if he remains with the rebuilding Wizards. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly records 21 points, three steals
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 3:28 PM
Bilal Coulibaly accounted for 21 points (8-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Friday's win over the Raptors.
Analysis: Between injuries and production, this has been an underwhelming season for Coulibaly so far. That makes Friday's performance that much more satisfying for the Wizards wing and those who continued to roster him. The 21 points were a season-high for Coulibaly, who also provided excellent value in rebounds and âstocks.â Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, his eight-cat fantasy value remains outside the top-150. However, he's someone to watch ahead of the âsilly season,â as there should not be any reason to shut down Coulibaly later in the year. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (illness) available Friday
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 11:49 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Champagnie is officially available after being listed as questionable earlier Friday. While Corey Kispert is out, the Wizards are otherwise relatively healthy on the wings, which limits Champagnie's opportunities. There's no need to roster him in most leagues. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (illness) questionable vs. TOR
Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 6:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (illness) is questionable to play against the Raptors on Friday.
Analysis: Champagnie is a late addition to the injury report, and with Corey Kispert (hamstring) already ruled out, there will be extra minutes on the wing available. Tre Johnson should take on a larger reserve role, though Bilal Coulibaly and Khris Middleton should see a slight bump in minutes as well. |

Corey Kispert Corey Kispert (hamstring) out Friday vs. Toronto
Thu, Dec 25, 2025, 10:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Corey Kispert (hamstring) is out for Friday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis: Kispert exited Tuesday's loss to the Hornets with tightness in his left hamstring and will not play on Friday. With Cam Whitmore (shoulder) out indefinitely with a deep-vein thrombosis, there will be more minutes available to Tre Johnson off the bench. While he isn't at a point where he should be rostered in redraft leagues, Johnson has âsilly season heroâ potential. |
