Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma will miss a 10th straight game Friday, and with the Wizards mathematically eliminated from the postseason, it seems unlikely he'd return to action for Sunday's matchup versus Houston, though his official status for that game remains to be determined. Bradley Beal (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Monte Morris (ankle) and Deni Avdija (elbow) are also out, so Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis should continue to see elevated usage versus Miami.

Kuzma (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma is slated to miss a ninth straight game due to a right ankle sprain, and with the Wizards mathematically eliminated from the Play-In Tournament, it'd be surprising to see him suit up again this season. Monte Morris (ankle), Delon Wright (illness), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Bradley Beal (knee) and Deni Avdija (elbow) also remain out, so Johnny Davis, Corey Kispert and Kendrick Nunn are candidates for elevated usage again.

Kuzma (ankle) will not play Tuesday against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the eighth straight absence for Kuzma, who will join Bradley Beal (knee), Monte Morris (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) in street clothes. Given that the Wizards are eliminated from playoff contention, there's a good chance Kuzma will be held out for all four of the team's remaining games.

EDGE Analysis
Kuzma continues to deal with a right ankle sprain and will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game. His next opportunity to play will be Sunday against the Knicks, while Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis should continue to see increased run for the Wizards on Friday with Bradley Beal (knee) also out.

Kuzma is slated to miss a fifth straight game due to a sprained right ankle. Bradley Beal (knee) also remains out, so Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis will continue to see increased roles versus the Celtics. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.

Kuzma (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been ruled out for a fourth straight contest after sustaining a sprained right ankle about a week ago. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill should continue to see extended action with Kuzma on the sidelines. With Bradley Beal (knee) also out, Kristaps Porzingis should see a significant bump in usage. Kuzma's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Boston.

Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma will miss both halves of Washington's current back-to-back set due to an ankle sprain described as "pretty significant." In his absence, Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are candidates for increased roles, but the Wizards will likely rely heavily on Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Spurs, though he can likely be considered questionable, at best, for that contest.

Wizards' coach Wes Unseld said that Kuzma, who will miss Tuesday's game, is dealing with a "pretty significant [ankle] sprain," Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Unseld added that he was "shocked" that Kuzma could play through the ankle sprain Saturday, so it sounds like there's been a lot of swelling, which could turn into a multi-game absence. Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill will likely pick up the slack while he's out, and it should be Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis doing the heavy lifting on offense. For now, Kuzma should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
