Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (calf) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Sat, Nov 15, 2025, 10:50 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is questionable to play against the Nets on Sunday.
Analysis: Coulibaly has missed Washington's last four games, but there is a chance he returns to take on Brooklyn. Tre Johnson has been starting since Coulibaly went down, and he could be pushed back to a reserve role if Coulibaly returns, though Khris Middleton is also a candidate to come off the bench. There is also a chance Coulibaly doesn't start, though that hasn't happened since he was a rookie. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (calf) out Wednesday vs. Pelicans
Tue, Nov 11, 2025, 12:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is out for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Wednesday's game will be the fourth that Coulibaly has missed with a left calf contusion. Rookie Tre Johnson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he's worth a look in deep leagues. Johnson will be most valuable later in the season, especially if the Wizards were to move a veteran at the trade deadline. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum drops 42 points in OT loss to Pistons
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 4:55 PM
CJ McCollum had 42 points (14-of-26 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers against the Pistons on Monday.
Analysis: McCollum had scored 25 points in each of his last two games enter play Monday and then proceeded to drop 42 points on the Pistons. The 34-year-old shooting guard has made at least five three-pointers in two of his last three games. His recent scoring is a terrific sign that he's started to turn it around after averaging 14.3 points per game so far this season. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton to start in return to action
Mon, Nov 10, 2025, 12:42 PM
NBA Lineups
Tre Johnson, C.J. McCollum, Kyshawn George, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr will start Monday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Since it was Washington's second game in as many nights, Middleton did not play in Saturday's loss to the Mavericks. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench, where he isn't worth the risk in any fantasy leagues. Johnson will make his third start as the Wizards remain without Bilal Coulibaly. |

Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 11:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (calf) is out for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Coulibaly will miss a third straight game as he recovers from a left calf contusion suffered during Washington's November 5 loss to the Celtics. Rookie Tre Johnson has replaced him in the starting lineup and should retain that role, making him a player worth considering in deep leagues. |

Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore scores season-best 19 points
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 3:48 PM
Cam Whitmore provided a boost off the bench with 19 points (7-of-13 FGs), three rebounds and three three-pointers against the Mavericks on Saturday.
Analysis: Since scoring 14 points in the season opener, Whitmore has only scored in double figures once and hasn't played a significant role. However, he was able to contribute off the bench in this game and set a new season-high for points. Still, outside of the buckets, he only contributed three boards. That's it. Whitmore is a talented scorer, but until he is able to contribute in other areas, his upside and minutes will both be limited. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores 23 of 25 points in first half
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 3:45 PM
CJ McCollum led the Wizards with 25 points (9-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers in a 111-105 loss to the Mavericks on Saturday.
Analysis: It was a tale of two halves for McCollum. He got off to a scorching hot start to this game, scoring 23 points in the first half alone. That came after he had a season-high 25 points on Friday. He only scored two points after the break, and he wasn't able to help the Wizards end their losing streak. Still, this two-game stretch was great to see from McCollum after he scored a total of eight points over the two previous games. |

Justin Champagnie WAS starting CJ, Johnson, George, Champagnie, Sarr
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 1:08 PM
Grant Afseth
CJ McCollum, Tre Johnson, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Alex Sarr against the Mavericks on Saturday.
Analysis: George is back, but Khris Middleton is out, so those two wings will swap spots. The change is Champagnie replacing Bub Carrington, who will still play a large role off the bench. Johnson will get his second straight start after starting for the first time in his career on Friday. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (injury management) out Saturday
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 6:42 AM
Khris Middleton (injury management) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Middleton had four points in 22 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, but he'll sit out the second game of the back-to-back. The 34-year-old small forward's absence won't impact fantasy basketball as much as it'll impact the Wizards' overall depth with Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out and Kyshawn George (illness) questionable. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out Saturday vs. Mavericks
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 6:36 AM
Bilal Coulibaly (leg) is out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis: Coulibaly left Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a leg injury and then missed Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old shooting guard is set to miss another game Saturday against the Mavericks. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson will continue to pick up minutes in his absence. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum hits six triples, scores 25 points
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 3:50 PM
CJ McCollum shot 8-of-16 from the field and 3-of-4 from the foul line in Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, scoring 25 points with two rebounds, three assists, one steal and six three-pointers.
Analysis: Having shot 3-of-19 from the field and 1-of-10 from three in his two previous games, McCollum was looking to snap out of that funk. Mission accomplished, as he shot 50 percent from the field and led the Wizards in scoring. Thirteen of his 16 shot attempts were from beyond the arc, and he has a three-point attempt rate of nearly 55 percent through nine games. When the shots are falling at a solid clip, as they were on Friday, that's a nice deal for those who have McCollum rostered. |

NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (elbow) is not on the injury report against the Cavaliers on Friday.

Analysis: Coulibaly exited early from Wednesday's game, and he'll be held out at least one more game.

Carrington was a starter at the beginning of the year while Coulibaly was sidelined and played 31 minutes on Wednesday. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie tallies 12 points in defeat
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 4:48 PM
Justin Champagnie accounted for 12 points (4-of-4 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one steal and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Making his second consecutive start for the injured Khris Middleton (knee), Champagnie hit double figures for the first time this season. In fact, the 12 points scored on Wednesday were two more than Champagnie's total entering the game. Even if Middeton remains out, there's no need to entertain streaming Champagnie. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (leg) will not return Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 3:26 PM
Washington Wizards
Bilal Coulibaly (leg) will not return to Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Coulibaly is dealing with tightness in his lower left leg, and with the Wizards down big, there's no reason to risk anything. He played 16 minutes, finishing with one point (0-of-5 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and three assists. Rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley should see plenty of time during the fourth quarter, with the former being the more valuable player if Coulibaly misses time. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (elbow) out Wednesday vs. Boston
Tue, Nov 4, 2025, 12:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (elbow) is out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Middleton's absence from Wednesday's game will be his second since suffering an elbow injury. Justin Champagnie replaced him in the starting lineup on Monday, but the change also meant more opportunities for Tre Johnson off the bench. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly hits three triples, scores 15
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 5:07 PM
Bilal Coulibaly accounted for 15 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and three three-pointers in Monday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Coulibaly has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats through three games, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 143. Whether he can sustain this production level will depend on Coulibaly's field-goal shooting. He's making 42.7 percent of his attempts thus far, including a 3-of-10 night against the Magic on Saturday. Coulibaly's rostered percentage has more than doubled since his season debut on October 30, and it may increase even more with the Wizards playing three more games during Week 3. |

CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Alex Sarr will start against the Knicks on Monday.
Analysis: Champagnie gets the starting nod for the first time this season after not playing 10 minutes in a game yet this season. Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore are also candidates to take on larger roles with Khris Middleton (elbow) sidelined. |

Khris Middleton (elbow) has been ruled out against the Knicks on Monday.
Analysis: Middleton will be sidelined for the first time this season after initially being listed as questionable. That opens a spot in the starting unit, which could be filled by Bub Carrington or Tre Johnson, though Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore could also be in line for extra minutes. |
