Top Wizards News

  • Wizards' Will Riley: Scores 12 points off bench

    Riley totaled 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one rebound across 23 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over Indiana.

    The Wizards are missing several key players, which allowed Riley to operate as the sixth man Sunday. He's averaged 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 23.5 minutes per game over his last five contests, so the rise in playing time hasn't translated into a significant bump in fantasy value.

  • Wizards' Kyshawn George: Teases triple-double Sunday

    George totaled nine points (3-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.

    The assists tied his season high, as George came close to his first career triple-double. The second-year wing is still searching for some consistency, but his production has taken a big step forward from his rookie campaign. Over his last 12 games, George is averaging 14.1 points, 5.7 boards, 5.5 assists, 2.5 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 32.3 minutes.

  • Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Double-double in Sunday's win

    Champagnie recorded 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over the Pacers.

    The double-double was his first of the season, as Champagnie made his third straight start in an Wizards' injury-ravaged frontcourt that was missing four rotation regulars Sunday. The 33 minutes were also a season high for Champagnie, and he's in line for a significant workload as long as Khris Middleton (knee), Bilal Coulibaly (oblique), Alex Sarr (thigh) and Corey Kispert (thumb) remain sidelined. Champagnie has scored in double digits in four of the last six games (four starts), averaging 10.7 points, 8.0 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.2 blocks, 1.2 steals and 1.0 threes in 23.5 minutes over that stretch.

  • Wizards' CJ McCollum: Drops 18 in Sunday's win

    McCollum racked up 18 points (8-18 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes during Sunday's 108-89 victory over Indiana.

    The veteran guard saw his streak of games with over 20 points end at three, but McCollum was still second on the Wizards in scoring behind Marvin Bagley's 23 points. McCollum has scored in double digits in 16 straight games, averaging 22.6 points, 3.4 assists, 3.4 threes, 3.3 boards and 0.8 steals over that stretch.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Pours in 23 points in win

    Bagley produced 23 points (9-14 FG, 5-10 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 32 minutes of Sunday's 108-89 win over the Pacers.

    Bagley kept his foot on the gas Sunday and notched his second straight double-double, after he recorded 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and 13 rebounds during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers. Alex Sarr (adductor) has missed six games in a row and is without a clear target date for a return, so Bagley's window to produce solid fantasy numbers remains open for the time being.

  • Wizards' Alex Sarr: Could be facing extended absence

    Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Sarr (thigh) has not progressed enough in his recovery to do live work at practice, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

    Sarr has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers, which will be the sixth game in a row that he'll miss due to a right adductor strain. There's no clear timeline for his return, but it appears the second-year center is facing an extended absence. Marvin Bagley should continue to start for as long as Sarr is sidelined.

  • Wizards' Malaki Branham: Remaining out vs. Indiana

    Branham (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Branham will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained right thumb. The 22-year-old's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against San Antonio.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' Khris Middleton: Ruled out for Sunday

    Middleton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Middleton will miss his third straight game due to a right knee contusion, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Spurs. With the veteran forward sidelined, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins will likely continue to see increased playing time.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play Sunday

    Sarr (adductor) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    Sarr will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a right adductor strain. With the second-year center sidelined, Marvin Bagley is expected to start, while Tristan Vukcevic should see increased burn off the bench. Sarr's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Spurs.

  • Wizards' Tre Johnson: Muted in return

    Johnson supplied three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to Cleveland.

    Johnson had missed Washington's previous seven games with a left hip flexor strain prior to Friday night, and he showed signs of rust in his return to the hardwood. Friday marked his lowest scoring total of the 2025-26 season, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. Still, the Texas product didn't appear to be on any kind of minutes limit, and he should continue to see chances to contribute, particularly from beyond the arc.

  • Wizards' AJ Johnson: Returned to G League

    Johnson was assigned to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Saturday.

    Johnson continues to bounce between the NBA club and the G League, as he was just recalled Friday. He should see the majority of his playing time for the Go-Go, where he's scored in double figures in all three of his appearances so far this season.

  • Wizards' Jamir Watkins: Efficient in loss Friday

    Watkins totaled 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

    Watkins has made only six appearances at the NBA level this season, but this was his best outing by a wide margin. Aside from logging a season-high 29 minutes, Watkins recorded season-best numbers in points, rebounds and blocks. His future role remains uncertain, but the fact that he's played over 15 minutes in three straight games suggests he might be trending in the right direction toward securing a steady role in the rotation.

  • Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Posts double-double

    Bagley logged 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

    With Alex Sarr (thigh) sidelined, Bagley has started regularly since returning from a four-game absence Dec. 1, and he's finding ways to be productive. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis hurts him a bit, but Bagley has scored in double digits in three of his five outings in December. Over that stretch, he's averaging 12.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per contest.

  • Wizards' CJ McCollum: Puts up 27 points in loss

    McCollum totaled 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

    McCollum has been playing well of late, and it seems the 46-point outburst he had in the win over the Hawks on Nov. 25 allowed him to leave his early-season struggles behind. McCollum has scored at least 22 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points, 2.6 boards and 4.2 assists per game over that stretch. That has been his most productive stretch of the campaign by a wide margin.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' Bub Carrington: Posts season high in defeat

    Carrington contributed 27 points (10-20 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.

    With multiple key contributors sidelined, Carrington started a second consecutive contest and made the most of the opportunity. The 20-year-old point guard logged season highs in minutes and points, matching CJ McCollum for the team-high mark in scoring Friday. Carrington has had an underwhelming sophomore season thus far and could lose work to Tre Johnson once he's off his minutes restriction, though Carrington's productive performance against Cleveland is a positive sign moving forward.

  • Wizards' Tre Johnson: Will be limited Friday

    Head coach Brian Keefe said Johnson (hip) will play on an unspecified minutes restriction in Friday's game against Cleveland, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.

    Johnson will return from a seven-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain, though he won't see a full workload. The rookie first-rounder has appeared in 15 regular-season games (four starts) thus far, averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wizards' AJ Johnson: Recalled from G League

    The Wizards recalled Johnson from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.

    Johnson is joining a banged-up Washington team as emergency depth ahead of Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 2024 first-rounder is averaging just 4.5 minutes per game over 10 appearances in the NBA this year, so he'll be a candidate to head back to the G League following Friday's action.
