Tristan Vukcevic Vuk?evi? (hamstring) absent from injury report
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 11:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? has been out for nearly a month with a hamstring injury. With the Wizards trading Marvin Bagley III and new addition Anthony Davis out due to injury, Vuk?evi? will likely slide into the rotation. There's no need to roster him in fantasy leagues, but keep an eye on the third-year center. As long as he doesn't hit his 50-game limit as a two-way player, there may be times later in the season when Vuk?evi? plays quality minutes. |

Dante Exum Danté Exum moved to Washington as part of AD trade
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 8:17 AM
Shams Charania
Danté Exum has been traded to the Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis trade.
Analysis: Exum was ruled out for the rest of the season in November, and he's on an expiring deal. Exum was included to make the deal work, but he may not ever suit up for Washington. He'll enter free agency next summer. |

D'Angelo Russell D'Angelo Russell dealt to Wizards in 8-player deal
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 8:02 AM
Shams Charania
D'Angelo Russell has been traded to the Wizards as part of an eight-player trade.
Analysis: Russell has been out of the rotation for most of the season in Dallas, and now he'll join the rebuilding Wizards. It is unlikely that he is given any meaningful minutes, unless the Wizards feel he isn't going to help them win too many games. Russell could certainly be a buyout candidate, which may be the only path for him to make an impact this season. |

Jaden Hardy Jaden Hardy heading to Washington in AD deal
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:57 AM
Shams Charania
Jaden Hardy has been traded to the Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis trade.
Analysis: Hardy has been an electric scorer at time since he was drafted in the second round in 2022. He'll now get a fresh start on a rebuilding team in Washington, and he could get a chance to play big minutes down the stretch of this season. However, he likely isn't part of the Wizards' plans for the future, so he may not find a long-term home in Washington. |

Anthony Davis Wizards make another splash, acquire Anthony Davis
Wed, Feb 4, 2026, 7:50 AM
Shams Charania
ESPN's Shams Charania reports the Mavericks are trading Anthony Davis, Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum to the Wizards in exchange for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley, two first-round picks and three second-round picks.
Analysis: The firsts include the Thunder pick in 2026 and a protected Warriors pick in 2030. Davis is set to be re-evaluated in late February, but managers shouldn't expect to see him play much down the stretch as the Wizards look to improve their lottery odds. However, Davis joins Trae Young and a talented young core in Washington, and they should add another top pick this summer. Davis will form an elite defensive tandem down low with Alex Sarr that should allow Washington to return to the postseason as early as 2027, assuming they plan to keep him around. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill (hand) available Tuesday vs. NYK
Tue, Feb 3, 2026, 6:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (hand) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Knicks.
Analysis: The backup big man has seen increased run as of late, but he's not on the radar in fantasy leagues due to the availability of Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III. |
|
Anthony Gill Anthony Gil (hand) questionable vs. New York
Mon, Feb 2, 2026, 11:22 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill (hand) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Analysis: Gill has taken on a larger role over Washington's last two games, but he has mostly been an afterthought in the rotation this year. With Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley both healthy, Gill's status won't impact Washington's rotation. |

Marvin Bagley Bagley doesn't miss, scores 15 in spot start
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 2:53 PM
Marvin Bagley amassed 15 points (7-of-7 FGs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: The Wizards were without Alex Sarr for Sunday's game, opening up a place in the starting lineup for Bagley. And he had a good night, not missing a shot and recording a complete stat line. Given Sarr's youth, he's unlikely to be in a position where the Wizards use any excuse to shut him down. For that reason, it's challenging to trust Bagley as a potential silly season standout fully. But, like Sunday, there will be nights when he's worth streaming. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly scores 15 points vs. Sacramento
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 2:51 PM
Bilal Coulibaly finished Sunday's win over the Kings with 15 points (5-of-9 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), one rebound, three assists and two steals.
Analysis: Including Coulibaly, six Wizards scored between 13 and 18 points. Also, he's recorded two steals in four of his last six appearances. Over the past two weeks, Coulibaly has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. With the Wizards clearly rebuilding, Bilal has the potential to be a silly-season standout, especially given his availability for both games of the team's most recent back-to-back. The Wizards play four games in Week 16, including one back-to-back. |

Marvin Bagley WAS starts Bub, Bilal, Kyshawn, Middleton, Bagley
Sun, Feb 1, 2026, 11:35 AM
Washington Wizards
Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Marvin Bagley will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: The Wizards won't have Alex Sarr for Sunday's game, as he's been ruled out with a sore right calf. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Bagley, who is worth streaming in this role. That's the lone change to the lineup that began Friday's loss to the Lakers. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) removed from injury report
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 11:17 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Bagley is back after having missed Washington's last five games. His return may push Anthony Gill out of the rotation, but that isn't guaranteed. Alex Sarr (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game, so there may be a need for Bagley and Gill to contribute. |

Malaki Branham Branham scores team-high 17 points off bench
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 3:24 PM
Malaki Branham led the Wizards with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), one rebound and four three-pointers on Friday against the Lakers.
Analysis: Most of Branham's points came during garbage time, but he was able to lead Washington in scoring in this game. As has been the case for the entirety of his career, he has the ability to be an electric scorer, but he wasn't able to contribute much else statistically. The 17 points were a new season high, which was great to see, but he should be left on the waiver wire. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) out Friday vs. Lakers
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Friday's game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, who beat the Bucks on Thursday. So, it's unsurprising that Middleton won't be available. Will Riley was the replacement for the most recent game that the veteran forward missed, and that may also be the case on Friday. Riley isn't a must-stream, but he is worth watching ahead of the post-trade deadline portion of the schedule. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) ruled out Friday vs. Lakers
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the fifth that Bagley has missed with a thoracic strain. Alex Sarr is absent from the injury report, so he'll log heavy minutes as the starter. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly posts 10 rebounds, four âstocks'
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:46 PM
Bilal Coulibaly amassed eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Coulibaly did not provide much offensively in Thursday's victory, but category managers will likely be pleased with the rebounds and defensive stats. Despite averaging six points per game, he has been a top-25 player over the past two weeks in eight-cat formats because of the rebounds, steals and blocks. Coulibaly's fantasy upside may be a bit limited due to his lack of scoring, but there's certainly value in rostering him. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) out Thursday vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 10:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Bagley will miss a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a thoracic strain. With starter Alex Sarr (illness) listed as questionable, the Wizards could be left to rely on Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere against the Bucks. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly (back) held to five points in return
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 4:08 PM
Bilal Coulibaly returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with five points (1-of-2 FGs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly missed the last five games for the Wizards, and he returned to the starting lineup in his first game back. He logged 28 minutes and contributed solid value across the board, scoring aside. He only took two shots, so it isn't that he struggled; he simply wasn't aggressive on offense. That isn't concerning, especially since he was able to produce in other categories. He'll look to keep it going against the Bucks on Thursday. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (foot) available vs. Portland
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 11:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (foot) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Middleton missed Saturday's game against Charlotte, which allowed Will Riley to start in his place and log 23 minutes. Middleton will be back, which will push Riley back to the bench, eliminating the streaming value he held. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (back) available Tuesday vs. POR
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 5:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly will return following a five-game absence, which could result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench. Even if he's not running with the first unit, Carrington has played well enough as of late to see significant minutes off the bench. |
|
Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) out Tuesday vs. POR
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Tuesday's game will be the sixth that Vuk?evi? has missed due to a strained left hamstring. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Wizards down two bigs since Marvin Bagley III (back) is also out. Anthony Gill played seven minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hornets. He is not worth streaming. |
