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. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly posts 14 points in setback vs. Hornets
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 3:30 PM
Bilal Coulibaly recorded 14 points (5-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 23 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: There weren't a ton of bright spots for the Wizards as they faded badly in the second half of this one, but Coulibaly drained 3-of-9 from three-point range and managed to drop 14 points in just 23 minutes of action as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury. The 21-year-old remains the textbook definition of a long-term developmental project but he continues to show flashes of potential as a shooter with the athleticism to impact the game on both ends of the floor. |

Corey Kispert Corey Kispert (hamstring) will not return Tuesday
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 3:16 PM
Greg Finberg
Corey Kispert (hamstring) will not return to Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Kispert played 13 minutes off the bench before having to exit due to hamstring tightness. While there may be a few more minutes available to Malaki Branham, Tre Johnson is ahead of him in the pecking order regarding playing time. |

Bilal Coulibaly WAS starts CJ, Bilal, Kyshawn, Middleton, Sarr
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 12:37 PM
Washington Wizards
CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr will start Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Middleton are back after sitting out Washington's last game. Their returns mean that Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will come off the bench, lowering the fantasy ceilings of both players. |

Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore (shoulder) ruled out indefinitely
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 10:08 AM
The Athletic
Cam Whitmore (shoulder) is out indefinitely
Analysis: Whitmore has not played consistent rotation minutes for the Wizards this season, but he's been active for the last few games with a shoulder injury. Unfortunately, he has been diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder and is out indefinitely. Victor Wembanyama dealt with a similar injury last season, and the Spurs declared him out for the rest of the year after the All-Star break. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley III (calf) good to go Tuesday
Tue, Dec 23, 2025, 8:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley III (calf) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Hornets.
Analysis: Bagley III sat out Sunday's loss to San Antonio, but he'll be back in action to face the Hornets. With Alex Sarr also available, Bagley III's fantasy value is minimal. |
|
Corey Kispert Corey Kispert (thumb) removed from injury report
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 11:31 AM
NBA Injury Report
Corey Kispert (thumb) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Kispert has been out since fracturing the tip of his right thumb during a November 25 game against the Hawks. His return will give the Wizards additional perimeter shooting off the bench, but his fantasy value is limited. Leave Kispert on the waiver wire. |
|
Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) absent from injury report
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 11:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Middleton is good to go after sitting out Sunday's loss to the Spurs, which was Washington's second game in as many nights. Justin Champagnie will return to the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 11:24 AM
Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Coulibaly returned from a four-game absence due to an oblique injury last Thursday, but missed Saturday's game with ankle sprain. The 21-year-old shooting guard is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets, which could leave the Wizards shorthanded on the win. Justin Champagnie had 11 rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes in Coulibaly's absence Saturday, but only scored four points. |
|
Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (calf) questionable Tuesday vs. CHA
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 11:20 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Bagley did not play in Sunday's loss to the Spurs, with Tristan Vuk?evi? moving into the starting lineup since the Wizards were also without Alex Sarr. However, with Sarr off the injury report, he'll start even if Bagley is cleared to play. |

Tristan Vukcevic Vuk?evi? scores 18 points in loss to Spurs
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 3:35 PM
Tristan Vuk?evi? posted 18 points (8-of-19 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds and four blocks over 27 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Vukcevic matched a season-high in the points department, reaching double figures for the sixth time in his last nine games, falling one rebound shy of his first double-double of the year. The 22-year-old big man is a fringe fantasy option in deeper leagues with Marvin Bagley III and Alex Sarr seeing most of the frontcourt minutes. |
|
Tristan Vukcevic WAS starts Bub, CJ, George, Champagnie, Vuk?evi?
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 12:34 PM
Washington Wizards
Bub Carrington, CJ McCollum, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Tristan Vuk?evi? will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: The Wizards are without their top two centers, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III are unavailable due to injury. As a result, Vuk?evi? moves into the starting lineup, and he'll have deep-league fantasy value out of necessity. The other change to the lineup is Champagnie, who replaces Khris Middleton due to Sunday's game being Washington's second in as many nights. |
|
Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (calf) downgraded to out Sunday
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 10:05 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Already without Alex Sarr, the Wizards won't have Bagley for Sunday's game, either. Tristan Vuk?evi? is the lone healthy center on the roster, and he'll play plenty. Anthony Gill should enter the rotation, but he is not a true center. |
