Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma plans to come back next season with a "different type of conditioning." The 28-year-old has just completed his third campaign in D.C., averaging a career-high 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, which is another career-best number for him. However, Kuzma went from averaging 35 minutes a night to clocking 32.6 minutes. He'll be carrying extra fantasy value in 2024-25 if he can stay on the court for longer. Kuzma is set to be among the team leaders for a while after Washington inked a four-year, $102 million deal with him last offseason.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will not suit up for Sunday's contest versus the Boston Celtics. The 28-year-old's absence from the season finale will be his fifth consecutive game on the sidelines because of a right ankle sprain. This will be the end of his season, as the Wizards are far away from the playoff race, with 15 wins. Kuzma had a very good year for fantasy managers, finishing with averages of 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.2 assists.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Bulls. He'll now miss a fourth consecutive contest, and with the Wizards down to two games left in the 2023-24 campaign, his season is likely over. With Tyus Jones (back) out and Jordan Poole (illness) questionable, Deni Advija and Corey Kispert may be the go-to offensive options for the Wizards on Friday night. There would also be room for Anthony Gill and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to get more involved, with the duo combining for 30 points in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With nothing to play for at this point, the 15-64 Wizards will keep Kuzma out of action for their third straight game due to his sprained right ankle. His next chance to play comes on Friday when Washington hosts the visiting Chicago Bulls. 2021 first-rounder Corey Kispert is shaping up as a "silly season" hero, providing 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers per game through his last nine contests. Kispert should continue handling heavy minutes from the first unit, but it's a dismal matchup in a game with significant blowout risk against a T-Wolves team that's giving up the fewest DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) finds himself with a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Timberwolves. He's played in just one of the past five games, landing on the shelf with a right ankle sprain. Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija have a bigger role on offense without Kuzma. Meanwhile. Corey Kispert has started to see a lot of extra action, reaching the 40-minute plateau three times in the past five games. He's finally found consistency lately, becoming a reliable fantasy option by averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with 3.3 three-pointers through the first few games of the month.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. He was initially listed as questionable. But the Wizards have nothing to play for, so Kuzma will sit out. Tyus Jones (back) also won't play, meaning Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert, and Deni Avdija will likely handle most of the scoring for the Wizards, making them ideal DFS options.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is ruled out for Friday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. Kuzma will miss his third of the last four games due to a right ankle sprain. Washington cleared Kuzma to play in their most recent game against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he tweaked his ankle after 39 minutes of action. Corey Kispert is the biggest benefactor of Kuzma missing the game, especially with averages of 18.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.0 three-pointers over the past nine games. Reserves Eugene Omoruyi and Justin Champagnie also get extra minutes in games without Kuzma as the Wizards inch to the finishing line of a woeful regular season.

Washington Wizards small forward Kyle Kuzma (heel) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. A right-heel contusion has cost Kuzma the last two games, but the offensive-minded forward is cleared to return to Washington's lineup in a revenge game against his former Lakers team. Although Kuzma remains a points-league preference in fantasy due to a high rate of turnovers and shaky free-throw shooting, he's averaging 23.5 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.9 threes in 34.9 minutes covering 17 games post-All-Star break for the Wiz. Start the 28-year-old in all season-long points formats against LA, a team that is surrendering the fourth-most threes (3.0) to enemy small forwards.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (back) remains out for Tuesday's clash with the Bucks. He's been in and out of the lineup over the last few weeks. But with Washington unable to make the postseason, that trend will likely continue throughout the Wizards' remaining eight games. With that said, Jordan Poole, who scored 22 points off 20 shot attempts in Sunday's loss to Miami, remains an ideal DFS option. At the same time, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert also warrant attention from fantasy managers without Kuzma on the floor.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (heel) won't take the court against Miami on Sunday. After recently battling a shoulder injury, Kuzma has now been taken out of the lineup with a heel contusion. Patrick Baldwin Jr. could be looking at starter's duty without Kuzma on Sunday, while his absence is set to secure a lot of shots for Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija. As this is a matchup against a team that has the seventh-best defensive rating in the league, Washington likely has to work extra hard to score on Sunday.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is out Monday against the Chicago Bulls due to left shoulder soreness. He had suited up for the last two Wizards tilts. Patrick Baldwin and Corey Kispert will likely see more action with the 28-year-old Kuzma sidelined. Washington could have seven players out with injuries for Monday's matchup, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Kings. He's been absent for a pair of games with a shoulder injury but appears to be ready to rejoin the action in a favorable fantasy matchup. Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for the game, meaning Kuzma could be the only regular starter in the lineup. He's set to do a lot of heavy lifting offensively, along with Jordan Poole. Kuzma produced 27 points, eight rebounds, and one block in 29 minutes against Sacramento in this season's first head-to-head meeting between the teams.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) won't play on Tuesday against Houston. He misses a second consecutive contest after being initially regarded as questionable for the game. With the entire regular starting five out again on Tuesday, the stage is set for the likes of Justin Champagnie and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to shine once more, while Jordan Poole should be gunning from everywhere. He needed just 23 minutes of action last time out against Boston to produce 31 points.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is considered questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Kuzma was forced to miss Sunday's game and is in danger of missing his second straight contest. Given the Wizards place in the standings, Kuzma seems more likely to sit out of this game. Washington doesn't have any incentive to play Kuzma at anything less than 100 percent healthy. Patrick Baldwin Jr. would likely move into the starting five if Kuzma is unable to play. Baldwin doesn't offer enough upside to warrant streaming in most fantasy formats.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) will sit out Sunday's contest against Boston. Kuzma had 11 points with five rebounds and four assists in 29 minutes against Chicago on Saturday but landed on the injury report with left shoulder soreness. He was initially listed as questionable for Sunday's game, but Wizards head coach Brian Keefe has now confirmed that Kuzma will miss the action. With Deni Avdija (knee) also out, this could turn into a Jordan Poole special on Sunday, while there will also be a lot of shots available to Corey Kispert.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is no longer on the team's official injury report after missing their last game right before the All-Star break. The 28-year-old only had to miss one game, so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that his 21.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game return on Thursday. Kuzma has been a great source of stats in fantasy leagues, but it hasn't translated to actual wins for the Wizards so far during his DC tenure. In total stats, he ranks inside the top 100 for nine-category leagues and is just barely outside of it in terms of per-game value. Either way, he's worth starting whenever he's not on the injury report.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is making his return to the court during Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kuzma is back after sitting out of Sunday's game due to a shoulder issue. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload during Wednesday's game. Bilal Coulibaly will head back to the second unit with Kuzma returning for this game. Coulibaly should still be able to carry deep league value even coming off the bench.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't listed on the team's injury report leading into Wednesday's contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Following a full practice on Tuesday, per The Athletic's Josh Robbins, Kuzma is good to go after sitting out Sunday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns due to soreness in his left shoulder. The 28-year-old's defensive shortcomings cap his upside in category leagues, but Kuzma is hovering around fantasy's top 50 in points formats on averages of 21.8 points, 6.5 boards, 4.3 assists, and 2.2 threes in 31.5 minutes across 48 games for Washington this season. With Cleveland's towering frontcourt tandem of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley back at full strength, Kuzma's matchup on Wednesday is a daunting one.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is sidelined ahead of Sunday's game versus Phoenix. Kuzma logged 36 minutes on Friday night against the Miami Heat. He entered Saturday carrying a questionable tag. However, his sore shoulder will keep him off the floor for the meeting with the Suns. With Tyus Jones (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (back) questionable and Marvin Bagley III (concussion) out, Jordan Poole, Deni Avdija, and Daniel Gafford could see more scoring chances. At the same time, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points on Friday night, is likely to be a popular DFS option, regardless if Jones and Coulibaly are available.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) is not listed on the team's injury report for Tuesday against the Orlando Magic after leaving early on Friday against the Golden State Warriors with soreness in his right knee. Kuzma said after Friday's contest that he expected to play in this one, indicating that the issue was of minimal concern in the first place. The 28-year-old offensive-minded forward will be looking to rebound after scoring a season-low seven points on 3-of-11 shooting from the field in 25 minutes against Golden State. Overall, Kuzma is averaging a points-league-friendly 23.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 2.4 three-pointers with limited defensive numbers while not missing a game yet for the 5-23 Wizards this year. There's unlikely to be a minutes restriction for Kuzma on Tuesday, but we'll see if he makes his way back on Washington's injury report on Wednesday's second leg of a back-to-back.
