Trae Young Keefe: Young (quad) not expected back this season
Tue, Apr 7, 2026, 11:34 AM
Chase Hughes
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday that Trae Young (back, quad) is not expected to play again this season.
Analysis: While the Wizards kept the door open on a return at some point before the end of the season, Young's remaining sidelined is no surprise. He appeared in five games after being traded from Atlanta to Washington and is expected to be one of the Wizards' cornerstones moving forward. Young's recent injury history will make it challenging to trust him with a first-round pick in fantasy drafts next fall. Still, he has the potential to offer that kind of value, especially for managers punting turnovers. |

Chase Hughes
Wizards coach Brian Keefe told reporters Anthony Davis (hand) isn't expected to play again this season.
Analysis: Davis was cleared for light contact last week as the Wizards tried to ramp up the 33-year-old center for a return, but just ran out of time. With Davis this close to returning, he should have a normal offseason and be ready for the start of next year. |

NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Justin Champagnie (knee) are available for Tuesday's matchup with the Bulls.

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) questionable vs. Chicago
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 11:21 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly missed Sunday's game, which allowed Jamir Watkins to get the start in his place. Watkins will likely play a similar role if Coulibaly remains out; he scored 20 points in 44 minutes in Sunday's loss. |
|
Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (knee) questionable vs. Chicago
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 11:19 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: Champagnie could miss a second straight game, which would likely allow Julian Reese to get another start at center, with Anthony Gill playing the power forward minutes. Both players played over 40 minutes in Sunday's loss to the Nets. |
|
Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) questionable vs. Chicago
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 11:15 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is questionable to play against the Bulls on Tuesday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? has missed Washington's last two games, which has led to Anthony Gill starting at center. Vuk?evi? will start if he's available, which would push Gill to the bench, though he will remain a starter if Vuk?evi? is sidelined. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black records career-high five steals
Mon, Apr 6, 2026, 5:23 AM
Leaky Black tallied eight points (3-of-9 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, five steals and two three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Nets.
Analysis: Making sense of the Wizards' rotation in recent games proved a frustrating task for many fantasy managers, and Black is a prime example of this. One day removed from playing four minutes in a loss to the Heat, he was in the starting lineup on Sunday and logged 42 minutes against the Nets. Washington did not have Bilal Coulibaly or Tre Johnson, which factored into Black's heavier workload. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well, but Leaky did manage to record a career-high five steals. The Wizards play four games in Week 24 for those in active fantasy leagues, but pinpointing which will be good spots to stream Black may prove challenging. |

NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? will miss a second consecutive game, which likely means another start for Anthony Gill. Julian Reese may also be in the rotation, but he only played 10 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat. |

Analysis: Coulibaly, who has been dealing with bursitis in his right heel for a few games, played 25 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat. Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins should see their roles expand, especially with Tre Johnson and Julian Champagnie also out. |

Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 7:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Champagnie will sit after logging 21 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat. Leaky Black should figure prominently in the Wizards' rotation, especially with Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson also out. |

Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 3:39 AM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Despite his right knee contusion, Champagnie played 21 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat, finishing with 12 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal. If he plays, there may be more minutes available, as starters Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson are also questionable. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 3:36 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Coulibaly, who continues to deal with bursitis in his right heel, played 25 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Heat. If he can't go in Brooklyn, Justin Champagnie could move into the starting lineup. However, Champagnie is also considered questionable due to a right knee contusion. |
|
Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) questionable vs. Brooklyn
Sun, Apr 5, 2026, 3:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? did not play in Saturday's loss to the Heat, resulting in Anthony Gill starting and playing 25 minutes. Fantasy managers can expect the same if Vuk?evi? remains out. Julian Reese played only 10 minutes in Miami and is not worth the risk as a streamer. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly records five âstocks' vs. Miami
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 11:54 AM
Bilal Coulibaly finished Saturday's loss to the Heat with 12 points (5-of-13 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks.
Analysis: Coulibaly's percentages weren't very good, but he did provide fantasy managers with good value in the defensive categories. The five contributions on that end of the floor were the most in a game for him since March 22, when Bilal recorded three steals and two blocks in a loss to the Knicks. Washington plays once more in Week 23, as they host the Nets on Sunday. We'll see what the injury report looks like, but Coulibaly's lingering heel issue may keep him out. |

Anthony Gill WAS starts Bub, Johnson, Coulibaly, Riley, Gill
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 8:40 AM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Will Riley and Anthony Gill will start Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: The Wizards are without Tristan Vuk?evi? and Alex Sarr for Saturday's game. As a result, Gill will start at center, with Julian Reese as his backup. That's the lone change to the lineup that started Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. |

NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Added to the Wizards' injury report on Friday night, Champagnie is set to play on Saturday. He played 21 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers and should take on a similar workload against the Heat. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly, Tre Johnson upgraded to available
Sat, Apr 4, 2026, 7:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Tre Johnson (foot) are available for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Johnson are good to go after being considered questionable for Saturday's game. Both are starters, but the playing time may be a concern. In Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, Coulibaly played 19 minutes and Johnson played 24. Fantasy managers will hope that both play more in the Wizards' penultimate game of Week 23. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie (knee) questionable vs. Miami
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 2:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Justin Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Due to a right knee contusion, Champagnie is a late addition to the Wizards' injury report. If he can't play, the impact of Champagnie's absence would depend on the availability of Bilal Coulibaly, who is also questionable. Will Riley, who recently moved into the starting lineup, will have added importance if Champagnie and Coulibaly sit. |
