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. |

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. |

Khris Middleton Middleton, Coulibaly, Whitmore out Sunday vs. SAS
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 7:45 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee), Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) and Cam Whitmore (shoulder) are out for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.
Analysis: Middleton took the court on Saturday, but he'll sit out for the second leg of Washington's back-to-back set. With Coulibaly and Whitmore also sidelined, the Wizards will be shorthanded at forward, which may mean an expanded role for Justin Champagnie. Alex Sarr has been ruled out, and Marvin Bagley III is questionable, so Tre Johnson and Will Riley could be called on more off the bench. |

CJ McCollum McCollum goes off for 28 in win over Grizzlies
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 4:39 PM
CJ McCollum recorded 28 points (9-of-16 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), five rebounds and six assists over 39 minutes during Saturday's win over the Grizzlies.
Analysis: There isn't much mystery to McCollum's game at this advanced stage of his career. He'll pour in somewhere close to 20 points while chipping in a modest handful of rebounds and assists per-game, but that's mostly it. The 34-year-old veteran guard offers some value as a low-ceiling, high-floor scoring option but that's pretty much it these days. He's been a bit streakier than usual since the start of December but he's scored at least 22 points in five of eight contests during that span. |

Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore (shoulder) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 1:06 PM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Whitmore (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
Analysis: Whitmore will not be available for Saturday's game, but his absence does not affect fantasy basketball. He has not been in the Wizards' rotation in recent games. |
|
Malaki Branham Malaki Branham (thumb) available vs. Memphis
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 8:26 AM
NBA Injury Report
Malaki Branham (thumb) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Analysis: Branham will return from a three-game absence, but his role this season has been minimal. He may see a few minutes off the bench, but he isn't a player that's worth rostering. |
|
Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore (shoulder) questionable vs. Memphis
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 8:24 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Whitmore (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Analysis: Whitmore has been out of the rotation over Washington's last four games. He likely won't see the floor whether he's available or not. |
|
Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) available vs. Memphis
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 8:18 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is available to play against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Analysis: Middleton will be back after missing the last four games. Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) has been ruled out, so Middleton will likely just fill his spot in the starting lineup, which also means Bub Carrington should remain in the starting unit. |
|
Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) now out vs. Memphis
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 8:13 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) has been ruled out against the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Analysis: Coulibaly wasn't on the initial injury report but is now dealing with an ankle sprain. He returned from a four-game absence with an oblique injury in Washington's last game and started. Khris Middleton is available for this game and will likely fill Coulibaly's starting spot. |
