Kuzma (quad) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been banged up recently, first dealing with a knee injury and now a quad issue, but he's yet to miss a game this season. Over his last two games, Kuzma has averaged just 12.0 points on 31.0 percent shooting, but on the season, he's averaging 23.0 points on 46.8 percent shooting, both career-high marks.

Kuzma is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right quadriceps contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma left last Friday's loss to Golden State early due to knee soreness but was back in action Tuesday, totaling 17 points, six assists, four rebounds and a block in 36 minutes. However, he emerged from that contest with a quad injury and may be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. If that's the case, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly and Anthony Gill would be candidates for increased minutes, but Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones would likely lead the Wizards' offense.

Kuzma (knee) said after exiting Friday's 129-118 loss to the Warriors that he expects to play in the Wizards' next game Tuesday against Orlando, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma departed with just over nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Friday's contest due to right knee soreness, finishing the night with seven points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes. Based on Kuzma's postgame comments, his knee injury doesn't sound like a major concern, and he should benefit from having three off days before the Wizards' next game.

Before exiting, Kuzma corralled seven points (3-11 FG), 10 rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes. While he's sidelined, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly and Anthony Gill are candidates to see more minutes. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Orlando.

Kuzma amassed 32 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 win over the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old forward topped 30 points for the second time in the last four games, as Kuzma continues to be the focal point of the Wizards' offense. His usage rate (31.5 percent), assists per game (4.3) and field-goal attempts per game (19.2) are all career highs, and he's improved his efficiency as well with a career-best 47.2 percent shooting from the floor. The trade-off has been his production in other categories, as Kuzma's 6.1 boards a game would be his lowest mark in three seasons, and his 0.9 combined steals and blocks would be his lowest since 2019-20.

Kuzma provided 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 143-131 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Wizards competed hard but fell short in the second game in a row, losing to the Suns on Sunday and the Kings on Monday. Kuzma has been a steady offensive contributor despite Washington's overall struggles, however, as he has cleared the 20-point plateau in four of his last five appearances while averaging a career-best 23.2 points per game this season.
