Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hip) questionable vs. Atlanta
Wed, Feb 25, 2026, 11:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: With Alex Sarr (hamstring) sidelined, Vuk?evi? has been the starting center when healthy. If he's unable to go on Thursday, the Wizards will likely turn to Anthony Gill. He would only be worth a look as a deep-league streamer due to Washington's lack of healthy frontcourt options. There would also be more minutes available to Jamir Watkins. |

Tristan Vukcevic WAS starts Bub, Johnson, Bilal, Kyshawn, Vuk?evi?
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 1:14 PM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington. Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Tristan Vuk?evi? will start Tuesday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? is back after missing Sunday's loss to the Hornets with a right hand contusion. His return means that Anthony Gill will come off the bench after making a spot start the last time out. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) good to go Tuesday
Tue, Feb 24, 2026, 8:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Hawks.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? sustained a right hand contusion on Friday, and it cost him Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He'll be back in action following a one-game absence, and he should slot in as Washington's starting center, sending Anthony Gill to the bench. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly has 17 points, three threes in loss
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 2:49 PM
Bilal Coulibaly had 17 points (6-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: The 21-year-old shooting guard could've had a big game, but with the game in hand after three quarters none of the starters played in the fourth quarter. Coulibaly has provided top-100 per game value over the last two weeks. The Wizards have three games upcoming in Week 18, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Tuesday. |

Anthony Gill WAS starts Bub, Johnson, Coulibaly, George, Gill
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 11:37 AM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Anthony Gill will start Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: George is back after missing Friday's win over the Pacers, and he will step in for Justin Champagnie, who is out with a knee injury. The other change is Gill, with the Charlotte native starting for the injured Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand). |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (knee) downgraded to out
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Champagnie had to exit Friday's win over the Pacers with a sore right knee, and he won't play on Sunday. His absence opens a spot in the Wizards' starting lineup, which could be filled by Kyshawn George, who is available to play. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) downgraded to out vs. CHA
Sun, Feb 22, 2026, 11:05 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? suffered a right hand contusion during Friday's win over the Pacers, which limited him to 20 minutes. With Alex Sarr (hamstring) also out, the Wizards will have to rely more on Anthony Gill, and Jamir Watkins' playing time should increase as well. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) questionable vs. Charlotte
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 11:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? was limited to 20 minutes in Friday's win over the Pacers, exiting due to a right hand contusion. Anthony Gill absorbed some of those minutes and would likely do so on Sunday if Vuk?evi? can't play. However, that does not guarantee Gill a spot start, as the Wizards went small and started Jamir Watkins the last time they were severely shorthanded in the post. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (knee) questionable vs. CHA
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 10:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Champagnie had to exit Friday's win over the Pacers prematurely due to a sore right knee, playing 11 minutes. If he's able to play, the way the Wizards have handled their rotation recently makes Champagnie a challenging player to trust in 12-team leagues. |

Tristan Vukcevic Shams: Tristan Vuk?evi? signs three-year deal
Sat, Feb 21, 2026, 6:33 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports Tristan Vuk?evi? has signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Wizards.
Analysis: The deal includes a team option in the third year, according to Charania. Vuk?evi? had previously been on a two-way contract. He figures to continue to work in the center rotation for Washington with most of his fantasy value coming when Alex Sarr has been out. |

Alondes Williams Alondes Williams records 25/10/4/1/2 stat line
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 3:28 PM
Alondes Williams accounted for 25 points (9-of-11 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Friday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Williams is on a 10-day contract, so his opportunities to impress are limited. Give him credit for making the most of his opportunity on Friday, playing 29 minutes and recording his first career double-double. Not selected in the 2022 draft, Williams' fingerprints were all over the Wizards' second victory in as many games. However, even with this performance, he isn't worth the risk in most leagues for Sunday's game against the Hornets. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) will not return vs. IND
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 2:57 PM
Tony East
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hand) will not return to Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Vuk?evi?, who was in the starting lineup for Friday's game, has been ruled out for the rest of the night with a hand contusion. He played 20 minutes, finishing with 14 points (7-of-12 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot. Vuk?evi?'s absence should result in more minutes for Anthony Gill, as he's the only other healthy big in the Wizards' rotation. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (knee) will not return vs. IND

Tony East
Justin Champagnie (knee) will not return to Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: Champagnie, who was inserted into the starting lineup for Friday's game, was ruled out for the rest of the night toward the end of the third quarter. The Wizards' forward finished with seven rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes, missing his lone shot attempt. Champagnie's absence has led to more minutes for Alondes Williams. |

Justin Champagnie WAS starts Bub, Tre, Bilal, Champagnie, Vuk?evi?
Fri, Feb 20, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Justin Champagnie and Tristan Vuk?evi? will start Friday's game against the Pacers.
Analysis: The Wizards won't have Kyshawn George for Friday's game, as he's out with a toe injury. Champagnie moves into the starting lineup, raising his ceiling and making him a player worth streaming. That's the lone change to the starting five. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill logs 30 minutes vs. Indiana
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:37 PM
Anthony Gill recorded 13 points (6-of-9 FGs), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Gill has played at least 28 minutes in three of his last four appearances, and Thursday's was one of his best. The veteran forward/center finished a steal shy of a complete stat line, shooting 66.7 percent from the field. Given the playing time, Gill may not be available for Friday's rematch. At the very least, he's unlikely to play as much if available, especially with starter Tristan Vuk?evi? being limited to 17 minutes. |

Jaden Hardy Jaden Hardy hits three triples, scores 13 points
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:36 PM
Jaden Hardy amassed 13 points (5-of-13 FGs), one rebound, one steal and three three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Hardy shot 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, providing solid value in the points and three-point categories. However, he logged just 18 minutes, and the overall stat line was lean. If the Wizards decide to sit any of their mainstays for Friday's game against the Pacers, there may be a few more minutes available to Hardy. However, with Will Riley (six points) playing just four minutes on Thursday, he'll likely be the Wizard who benefits the most. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly scores 12 points vs. Indiana
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:36 PM
Bilal Coulibaly accounted for 12 points (4-of-9 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, three steals and one three-pointer in Thursday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Coulibaly may not offer much in the way of scoring, but his ability to fill a stat line ensures that he'll have value in deeper category leagues. The five assists were the most in a game for the Wizards' wing since January 27, and he's recorded at least one steal in six straight and eight of his last nine appearances. Coulibaly and the Wizards have two more games in Week 17, starting with Friday's rematch with the Pacers. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? records career-high five steals
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 3:36 PM
Tristan Vuk?evi? tallied 12 points (4-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, five steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday's win over the Pacers.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? only played 17 minutes on Thursday, but that didn't keep him from putting up a career-high number in the steals category. The Wizards were without Alex Sarr, who remains out with a hamstring injury, so Vuk?evi? got another start. Hopefully, his limited playing time on Thursday ensures that Vuk?evi? will be available for Friday's rematch. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis (hand) to be evaluated in two weeks
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 10:43 AM
Washington Wizards
Anthony Davis (hand) is progressing well and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Analysis: Davis, who suffered ligament damage in his left hand in early January, is progressing in his recovery. However, the Wizards' forward/center still has not been cleared for basketball activities. For fantasy managers who can afford to take their chances on Davis being active at some point, he's worth holding onto in an IL slot. That said, managers in leagues where the playoffs will begin before Davis' re-evaluation will have to seek alternatives. |

Trae Young Trae Young (knee) to miss the next week
Thu, Feb 19, 2026, 10:35 AM
Ben Strober
Trae Young (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Young, who hasn't made his debut yet for the Wizards since coming to Washington in a trade for CJ McCollum, is set to ramp up on-court activities. The 27-year-old point guard isn't ready to return quite yet and will be re-evaluated in a week. |
