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. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) questionable vs. Miami
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 11:03 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? is dealing with a right knee contusion. Due to Alex Sarr (toe) being out, Vuk?evi? has started each of Washington's last four games. If both can't play on Saturday, Julian Reese is likely to be active, and he offers good value as a rebounder when allowed to start. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) questionable vs. Miami
Fri, Apr 3, 2026, 10:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Analysis: Coulibaly has been dealing with tendinitis in his left heel for a few games, most recently sitting out Monday's loss to the Lakers. While he was available for Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, the Wizards' wing only played 19 minutes. Jaden Hardy and Justin Champagnie are two players whose minutes may increase if Coulibaly sits. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill scores career-high 21 points
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:22 PM
Anthony Gill tallied 21 points (8-of-9 FGs, 2-of-2 Fts), six rebounds, six assists and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Not only did Gill finish Wednesday's defeat with a career-high point total, but this was his first 20-point game as a pro. The veteran forward/center logged 35 minutes off the bench and was highly accurate shooting the basketball. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was an excellent night for Gill. However, this changes nothing regarding his fantasy outlook for the rest of Week 23. He should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? scores 17 in 11 minutes vs. PHI
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 3:21 PM
Tristan Vuk?evi? recorded 17 points (6-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? received the starting nod on Wednesday with Alex Sarr (toe) sidelined, but his value did not receive the boost that some may have hoped it would. The reason: playing time. Vuk?evi? played 11 minutes, but give him credit for making the most of his opportunities. He has reached double figures in four straight and five of his last six appearances, and the 17 points were five shy of his season-high. Vuk?evi?'s production on Wednesday was excellent, but the playing time is why he can't be trusted in fantasy leagues. |

Bilal Coulibaly WAS starts Bub, Johnson, Riley, Bilal, Vuk?evi?
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 12:40 PM
Washington Wizards
Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly and Tristan Vuk?evi? will start Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Coulibaly is back after missing Monday's loss to the Lakers. It will be Justin Champagnie who heads to the bench, with Riley remaining in the starting lineup. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) available vs. Philadelphia
Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 6:34 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is available to play against the 76ers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly will be back following a one-game absence on Monday. Will Riley started that game, so he will likely return to the bench for this one, though he should still take on a large role as a reserve. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis (hand) cleared for light contact
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 1:00 PM
Wizards PR
Anthony Davis (hand) has been cleared for light contact work.
Analysis: Washington continues to pretend that Davis has a chance to suit up this year. He's progressing, but with less than two weeks left in the season, he isn't going to make his debut for the Wizards until October. His recovery is going well, and there is no reason to think he won't be ready for the start of next season. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) questionable vs. Philly
Tue, Mar 31, 2026, 11:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly was sidelined against the Lakers on Monday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. He could return to take on Philadelphia, which would push Will Riley back to the bench, though he should still play a large role as a reserve. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie totals 18 points in loss to LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 6:39 PM
Justin Champagnie produced 18 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Champagnie's offensive impact and production were among the few things that went right for the Wizards in Los Angeles. He shot that ball well in his time on the floor and finished second on the team in scoring. Additionally, Champagnie was one of two Wizards players to record a positive plus-minus. He's performed fairly consistently throughout the year and has a chance to end his fifth NBA season with some momentum. |

Justin Champagnie Justin, Bub, Tre, Will, Tristan to start vs. LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:39 PM
NBA Starting Lineups
Justin Champagnie, Bub Carrington, Tristan Vukcevic, Tre Johnson and Will Riley will start against the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Champagnie and Riley will get the start as the Wizards deal with injuries on Monday. They will also face a short-handed Lakers team without Luka Don?i? (suspension). Washington has lost two straight games and has one of the league's worst records. Still, players such as Carrington and Johnson could be contributors for fantasy managers. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill (ankle) available Monday vs. Lakers
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill is available to play on Monday against the Lakers.
Analysis: Gill's status was upgraded to available ahead of Monday's contest after previously being listed as questionable with an ankle injury. The sixth-year center has played well recently, posting double-digit scoring performances in three of his last five games. He'll have a chance to put forth another high-scoring performance against the Lakers. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) downgraded to out vs. LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Coulibaly's heel injury will keep him out of Monday's game, opening a spot in the starting lineup. With Leaky Black inactive, Will Riley may move into the starting lineup, which would raise his fantasy ceiling. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly, Anthony Gill questionable Monday
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 10:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Anthony Gill (ankle) are questionable for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
Analysis: Coulibaly has been dealing with a recurring heel injury, and it could keep him out for Monday's road tilt at crypto.com Arena. If Coulibaly is forced to miss this one, Will Riley and Tre Johnson could earn some additional playing time. Gill's availability is not impactful in the world of fantasy basketball, as Alex Sarr and Tristan Vuk?evi? are both healthy. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly, Leaky Black upgraded to available
Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 8:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Leaky Black (adductor) are available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Black are all set to play after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Both were in the starting lineup for Friday's loss to the Warriors, and that should remain the case on Sunday. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulbaly, Leaky Black questionable vs. POR
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Leaky Black (adductor) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Black started Friday's loss to the Warriors, but the former was limited to 19 minutes. With Tre Johnson out, Black could be asked to log heavy minutes once again if allowed to play. If both players sit, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie will receive boosts to their respective fantasy values. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly scores 21 points in 19 minutes
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 7:12 PM
Bilal Coulibaly lit up the Warriors with 21 points (8-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: Coulibaly had a strong scoring effort in this game, though he was limited to 19 minutes and didn't play the final 18 minutes of this game. He has certainly shown some scoring prowess in recent weeks, though his minutes have been limited as Washington continues to prioritize improved lottery odds. Coulibaly should be an intriguing option in fantasy drafts next season, but his impact for the rest of this year will be limited. |
