EDGE Analysis

Kispert underwent successful surgery on his left thumb back on March 18, ending his 2024-25 campaign early. He finished the regular season with averages of 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.7 assists in 26.3 minutes per game. Presumably, he'll open the season as the primary backup small forward behind Khris Middleton.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert suffered the injury during the Wizards' win over the Nuggets on Saturday. He was already ruled out for Monday's bout against Portland, and it appears the injury may be severe enough to warrant a multi-game absence.

Kispert (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert sustained the left thumb sprain during Saturday's win over Denver, and there's no clear timetable for his return. Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie will likely see a bump in playing time due to Kispert being sidelined.

Kispert has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a left thumb sprain.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert was replaced by Justin Champagnie at the 5:01 mark of the third quarter, and the former will not return after spraining his left thumb. Kispert will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, but he is in jeopardy of being sidelined for Monday's game against Portland. He'll finish Saturday's game with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes. Bub Carrington should see an increase in minutes off the bench for the rest of Saturday's game due to Kispert's absence.

Kispert finished Thursday's 129-125 win over the Pistons with 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

With Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) likely done for the season, Kispert could pick up some steam going forward as a fantasy asset. His value has been mostly limited to deeper formats in recent games, as he holds averages of 11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes over his last five outings.

Kispert tallied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in 22 minutes in Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert scored in double figures for the second consecutive game, draining three three-pointers Monday. The 26-year-old has gotten consistent minutes off the bench all season but could see more of an uptick in usage with several contributors banged up. In his last 15 games, Kispert is averaging 13.4 points and shooting an impressive 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Kispert logged 20 points (6-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 129-121 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert might not be the flashiest player, but he's a reliable option for fantasy managers who need points and three-point statistics from a bench player. The former first-round pick out of Gonzaga is averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 45.6 percent from three-point range since the beginning of February.

Kispert contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 104-101 loss to Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

If there's one thing Kispert knows how to do, it's put the ball in the basket, and the veteran forward once again posted a solid stat line Friday. Despite coming off the bench, Kispert has scored in double digits in each of his last seven appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 three-pointers made over that stretch. He's also making 47.9 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc over that seven-game span.

Kispert finished with 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and four rebounds over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime loss to Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Kispert was red-hot off the Wizards bench in Wednesday's extended contest, leading all bench players in scoring and threes made while nearly shooting a perfect mark from the field in a losing effort. Kispert, who was one of two Washington players with five or more threes, matched a season high in shots made from deep while posting his fifth outing of the year with 20 or more points.
