Sat Nov 12 2022 | 16:01 | Kyle Kuzma Questionable Against Utah Due To Illness |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (illness) is questionable ahead of the meeting with Utah. Kuzma is dealing with a non-COVID-related illness, and considering he was a late addition to the injury report, there's a good chance he may not play. Bradley Beal (illness) remains out on Saturday, so Kristaps Porzingis (groin), who is available, should be the No. 1 option offensively if Kuzma can't suit up. At the same time, Deni Avdija, Will Barton, and Rui Hachimura could see a notable uptick in production. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) will play against Charlotte. The 27-year-old was riding a questionable tag due to shoulder soreness heading into this one.

Thu Apr 7 2022 | 21:34 | Kyle Kuzma To Remain Out Against Knicks |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This doesn't come as much of a surprise considering Kuzma has been out since mid-March. The Wizards are already eliminated from the postseason, so there's no reason for them to risk the health of Kuzma. Rui Hachimura will remain in the starting lineup, while Deni Avdija gets a boost of the bench. Both players should have relevant fantasy value with Kuzma sidelined. |

Wed Apr 6 2022 | 14:42 | Kyle Kuzma Remains Sidelined For Wednesday’s Game |
Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Atlanta as he continues to work through right knee tendinitis. Kuzma has not suited up since March 18, and with Washington eliminated from playoff contention, it's unlikely the team would rush him back for its final two outings. His absence will continue to pave the way for Rui Hachimura to see extended minutes, while Kristaps Porzingis remains the team's offensive focal point. Barring an update, fantasy managers can operate as if the next time Kuzma suits up, it will be 2022-23. |

Thu Mar 31 2022 | 17:53 | Kyle Kuzma Sitting Once Again On Friday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) will remain sidelined on Friday when the team takes on the Dallas Mavericks. Kuzma has been out since March 18 due to right knee tendinitis. Rui Hachimura has stepped his game up with Kuzma sidelined. Hachimura has been regularly playing 25-30 minutes per game lately. On Wednesday, he had one of his better games of the year, racking up 17 points, seven boards, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer. Kuzma's next chance for a return will be on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the seventh game in a row that Kuzma has missed due to right knee tendinitis. The Wizards haven't ruled him out for the rest of the season, but it certainly seems like a strong possibility. Rui Hachimura should continue to start and dropped 21 points during Tuesday's game. He appears to be a solid streaming option, while Deni Avdija is worth a look as well. |

Mon Mar 28 2022 | 20:21 | Kyle Kuzma Remains Sidelined For Tuesday’s Game |
Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Chicago due to right knee tendinitis. The fact that Kuzma has been consistently ruled out ahead of time, combined with the lack of timeline provided for his return is indicative that it could stretch beyond his current six-game stint on the sidelines. Rui Hachimura has shifted into the starting five in Kuzma's absence and averaged 10.6 points and five rebounds in that stretch, earning himself some DFS appeal with a solid floor. Three different Wizards have led Washington in scoring without Kuzma in the mix, as Kristaps Porzingis has taken over No. 1 scoring duties for the time being. |

Sun Mar 27 2022 | 17:40 | Kyle Kuzma To Remain Sidelined |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This shouldn't come as a shock considering Kuzma has been dealing with right knee tendinitis for a week or so. Rui Hachimura should continue to draw the starts in his absence. He is fairly average when it comes to fantasy production, while Deni Avdija has been playing much better off the bench. At this point, Avdija is the better streaming option until Kuzma returns. |

Fri Mar 25 2022 | 14:52 | Kyle Kuzma To Remain Out Versus Pistons |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This shouldn't come as a surprise since Kuzma has been sidelined for about a week due to right knee tendinitis. Rui Hachimura should continue to start, while Deni Avdija benefits as well. Neither have been reliable fantasy options lately, but Avdija does have a bit more upside. Both players could have low-end streaming appeal until Kuzma returns. |

Wed Mar 23 2022 | 21:31 | Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out For Thursday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not good news to see the Wizards ruling out Kuzma well before tip-off. Rui Hachimura should remain in the starting five, while Deni Avdija should get more playing time as well. Both players have been putting up solid numbers lately, but Avdija has slightly more upside. Fantasy managers should consider both of them for Thursday's game. |

Mon Mar 21 2022 | 19:53 | Kyle Kuzma Won't Play Versus Rockets |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. It sounds like the Wizards are being overly cautious here, but Kuzma won't need further testing. Rui Hachimura should move into the starting five with Deni Avdija getting additional playing time. Both have streaming appeal, but Avdija has a bit more upside. The next chance for Kuzma to get back on the court will be Thursday. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for that contest. |

Sun Mar 20 2022 | 22:10 | Kyle Kuzma Tagged As Questionable For Monday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was held out of Saturday's contest due to right knee tendinitis. It was also the second game of a back-to-back set, so possibly the Wizards were just playing it safe. The expectation is that Kuzma will be able to play on Monday, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. Otherwise, Rui Hachimura should remain in the starting five, while Deni Avdija gets a boost in usage. Both players would be worth looking at as streaming options if Kuzma sits out. |

Fri Jan 21 2022 | 18:18 | Kyle Kuzma Will Miss Friday’s Contest |
Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (neck) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Toronto due to neck spasms. The absence marks the first game on the sidelines for Kuzma since Dec. 13, with a combination of Rui Hachimura, Davis Bertans, and Deni Avdija all seeing potential increases in minutes and offensive usage. Kuzma has played at an All-Star form during 10 January outings, averaging 23.2 points and 11.7 rebounds per contest, all while shooting 51.8 percent overall. The next chance for the 26-year-old to suit up comes Sunday vs. the Celtics. |

Mon Dec 27 2021 | 11:30 | Kyle Kuzma Starts Building A Double-Double Streak |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma recorded a second consecutive double-double in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, posting 12 points and 10 rebounds with 4-for-11 shooting. He was 1-for-4 with the three-ball and 3-for-6 at the line, bagging three assists and one block as well. Kuzma now has 10 double-doubles for the season. He had a very good start to the season, but December has been pretty rough for Kuzma, and he likely can't wait until it's done. There are two more games to come, with the Wizards taking on Miami and Cleveland. Kuzma has been in decent form against both sides this season, averaging 12.5 points and 12 rebounds against the Heat and getting 17 points with 4.5 rebounds against the Cavs. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma will play Wednesday against the Sacramento Kings. Kuzma missed two games while in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, but has been cleared to come back to game action. Deni Avdija will likely move back to the bench with Kuzma returning. Kuzma's conditioning may play a factor Wednesday, but there are no indications of a minutes restriction. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last two games while following the league's safety protocols. Deni Avdija has moved into the starting five, but hasn't been able to do much with his increased playing time.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma won't suit up for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. He will miss at least one game while following the league's health and safety protocols. It's a shame since Kuzma is having a career year in Washington. Deni Avdija will move into the starting five, while Davis Bertans gets more minutes off the bench. Bertans is the better option between the two. However, neither should be considered reliable streaming options for Saturday. |

Thu Dec 9 2021 | 09:55 | Kyle Kuzma Caps Off Great Performance With A Buzzer-Beater |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma finished off a 26-point effort with a game-winning triple in Wednesday's 119-116 overtime victory against Detroit. He won it for the Wizards with just 0.6 left in the extra frame, hitting his fourth triple of the night. Kuzma finished 4-for-10 from downtown and shot 8-for-18 overall with a 6-for-7 effort at the charity stripe. His line included seven rebounds, four assists, one steal and three turnovers. The former Laker has been slumping this month, but this should give him a huge boost. Kuzma will tackle the Jazz next, which is a pretty tough matchup for the 26-year-old, as Utah is a very strong defensive team. |

Sun Nov 28 2021 | 09:40 | Kyle Kuzma Performs Well Saturday Night |

Kuzma's scoring performances tend to be very inconsistent, but he's averaging a career-high 9.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. He'll look to post a run of back-to-back 20-point games for the first time this season on Monday against the Spurs. |

Mon Nov 8 2021 | 08:41 | Kyle Kuzma Finishes A Win Over Bucks With A Double-Double |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma picked up his fourth double-double of the campaign in Sunday's impressive 101-94 win over Milwaukee. He scored 15 points on 6-for-11 shooting and grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds. Kuzma, who went 3-for-8 from deep, finished things off with five assists, one block and three turnovers in 30 minutes. The 26-year-old tends to have horrible shooting performances here and there, but he's been solid for the Wizards overall, averaging 14 points and 9.5 rebounds with 2.1 assists. He'll have to fight very hard for a double-double in the next matchup against the Cavaliers, who are rolling with two bigs in the starting lineup. |
