Kuzma had 28 points (12-20 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block over 30 minutes during Monday's 146-128 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma led Washington in scoring while posting a new personal season high. He's exceeded 20 points in all six of Washington's contests thus far, and he's heating up from beyond the arc, going 8-for-14 from deep over his last two games.

Kuzma recorded 22 points (8-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 31 minutes during Friday's 121-114 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma didn't shoot particularly well overall and committed five turnovers, but he led Washington in scoring on the strength of a 4-for-9 mark from three-point range. The seventh-year forward has exceeded the 20-point mark in each of his five contests so far this season and leads the Wizards with an average of 22.8 points per game on the campaign. Kuzma should be able to continue that level of production as Washington's centerpiece on offense now that Bradley Beal is in Phoenix.

Kuzma amassed 25 points (11-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds and six assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 130-121 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma began the season with the expectation of being one of the Wizards' main scoring threats, and he has established himself as the team's most productive player. However, Jordan Poole's struggles from the field have also benefited Kuzma. Kuzma has surpassed the 20-point mark in his four outings so far while shooting a respectable 49.4 percent from the field, a figure that would represent a career-high mark for him by a wide margin.

Kuzma supplied 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Monday's 126-107 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was the only Washington player who scored more than 20 points in this one, and his role as one of the Wizards' main scoring threats is pretty much set in stone. While Kuzma tends to be a volume scorer, he was pretty efficient in this particular game, and he's made 48.2 percent of his shots (while averaging 18.7 attempts per game) so far. Three games are a small sample size to work with, but this is an encouraging start for him.

Kuzma notched 21 points (9-23 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 113-106 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma finished the game with more shot attempts than points scored, but as was the case in the regular-season opener, the veteran forward surpassed the 20-point mark for the second time in two games. Kuzma will deliver most of his value through his scoring numbers on a regular basis, but there's no question he needs to improve his shooting efficiency from deep, as he has made just two of his 14 three-point attempts so far.

Kuzma registered 25 points (9-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 143-120 loss to the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma signed a four-year, $90 million extension in the offseason after averaging a career-high 21.2 points per game in the 2022-23 season. He led the team in scoring in the campaign opener and posted a minus-10 in the plus/minus column, the best mark out of the five Wizards starters. Kuzma and the Wizards will look for their first win on the season when they host the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Kuzma (calf) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma will suit up for Washington's regular-season opener Wednesday after missing the final two preseason contests with a calf contusion. Kuzma projects to be Washington's focal point on offense alongside Jordan Poole this season.

Kuzma is dealing with a minor calf contusion, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was absent for Washington's final two preseason contests due to a calf injury, but the nature of the injury was unspecified. The fact that it's a contusion as opposed to a strain greatly lessens the aggravation risk and bodes well for his availability Wednesday versus Indiana. Kuzma told reporters that he expects to play in the regular-season opener, per Josh Robbins of The Athletic, but his availability won't be known until Washington releases its first official injury report of the season Tuesday.

Kuzma (calf) will not play in Friday's preseason game against the Raptors, Greg Finberg of Bullets Forever reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards broadcast mentioned that Kuzma is dealing with a calf injury, but there are no other specifics. Hopefully the Wizards are just being cautious in the preseason finale. Kuzma should be considered questionable for Opening Night on Oct. 25 against the Pacers.

Kuzma won't start Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

While the reason for Kuzma's absence from the first unit hasn't been announced, its presumed to be a night off for the power forward after dropping 19 points in 34 minutes in the Wizards' latest preseason bout. If he ends up missing Wednesday's contest, Kuzma's next chance to play would come Friday at Toronto.
