Kuzma (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Kuzma scored 33 points (12-23 FG) during Saturday's loss to the Kings, but it appears he sprained his right ankle during the contest as well. Porzingis is cleared to return Tuesday, so he'll presumably take Kuzma's spot in the starting lineup, with Corey Kispert slotting in at small forward again. Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Johnny Davis are also candidates for a few extra minutes with Kuzma unavailable. Given the matchup in Orlando is the first half of a back-to-back, Kuzma can likely be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's home tilt versus Denver.

Kuzma is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an ankle issue, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Kuzma popped for 33 points (12-23 FG) during Saturday's loss to the Kings, but he appears to have picked up an ankle issue as well. If Kuzma is forced to the sidelines, Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert would be candidates for increased run, but Porzingis and Bradley Beal would still be Washington's go-to playmakers versus Orlando.

Kuzma notched seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 117-94 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma returned from a one-game absence due to some knee trouble but couldn't get much going offensively. The Wizards are sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and will need Kuzma to find his form quickly if they want to sneak into the postseason. Over his last three contests, Kuzma is averaging 12.0 points on 42 percent shooting.

Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been downgraded from questionable to out due to right knee soreness and will miss his second contest since the All-Star break. In his absence, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill are all candidates for increased roles. Following Tuesday's contest, Washington doesn't resume action until Friday versus Cleveland, so Kuzma should have plenty of time to rest and rehab before the team needs to make a decision on his status for that contest.

Kuzma is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to right knee soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has posted double-doubles in two of his last three appearances, but he's dealing with a knee injury following Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. If he's unavailable Tuesday, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert will likely see increased run.

Kuzma closed with 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-93 loss to Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma hauled in a team-high rebound total while tallying a team-high-tying assist mark and notching a double-double performance in the starting lineup. Kuzma has recorded at least 10 points and 10 rebounds on 14 occasions this year, including in two of his last three outings. The forward did briefly leave Sunday's game with what appeared to be a hand injury, but he was able to return to action later in the second half. Don't be surprised if he pops up on the injury report with some soreness ahead of Tuesday's game against Detroit.
