Kuzma (illness) isn't listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma missed Washington's final game before the All-Star break due to an illness but has had plenty of time to clear the aliment and should be a full-go Thursday. Over his last four appearances, Kuzma has averaged 22.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 34.5 minutes per game.

Kuzma (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break on Feb. 22 against Denver.

Kuzma is questionable to play against the Pelicans on Wednesday due to illness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was a late addition to the injury report, and he wasn't in attendance at the morning shootaround. If the forward is unable to suit up Wednesday, the Wizards will need guys like Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly to step up.

Kuzma contributed 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 112-104 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma once again surpassed the 20-point mark, something that has been a trend for him throughout the entire campaign, and he also ended just two rebounds shy of a double-double. Kuzma has gone six consecutive games without a double-double, but that hasn't reduced his fantasy appeal drastically, as he's still averaging 21.5 points with 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in that six-game stretch.

Kuzma ended with 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's numbers have been fluctuating a bit, which wasn't the case in prior to this recent stretch, but he has still posted 20 or more points in three of his last six appearances. It remains to be seen if the move to center will affect his fantasy numbers on a huge basis, but he's expected to remain a focal point of Washington's offensive scheme.

Kuzma posted 28 points (11-24 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
With the trade deadline looming, Kuzma is doing his best to justify the high price tag the Wizards have been putting on him in talks with other clubs. The 28-year-old forward has topped 25 points in four of his last six games, averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.0 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch despite struggling from long distance and shooting just 25.5 percent (12-for-47) on three-point attempts.

Kuzma (shoulder) isn't listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma missed Sunday's blowout loss to Phoenix but logged a full practice Tuesday and will return to action Wednesday. Over his last 14 appearances, Kuzma has averaged 20.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 0.9 blocks in 32.9 minutes per game.

Kuzma (shoulder) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma missed Sunday's blowout loss to Phoenix, marking his first absence of the campaign. However, his return to practice Tuesday suggests he's trending in the right direction for Wednesday's matchup versus Cleveland. Kuzma's official status for that game will be released later Tuesday.

Kuzma (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to left shoulder soreness, and the team has since announced that the forward will be held out of Sunday's action. Expect Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija to pick up the slack in Kuzma's absence.

Kuzma is questionable to play versus the Suns on Sunday due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new injury for Kuzma, and he's in jeopardy of missing his first game of the campaign. Marvin Bagley (back) is out and Bilal Coulibaly (back) is questionable, so the Wizards could be very thin up front. If Kuzma is held out, Deni Avdija could step into a featured role in the offense.
