Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup in Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
Despite participating in shootaround, Kuzma will miss a fourth straight game due a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come in the second half of Washington's back-to-back set Tuesday in Portland. Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija have both drawn starts during Kuzma's absence and should continue to see increased roles versus the Warriors.

Kuzma (ankle) participated in the Wizards' shootaround but is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Warriors, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has missed the last three games due to his ankle injury, but he'll be in the mix to return to the court Monday. Even if he's unavailable against Golden State, he'll have two more chances to suit up before the All-Star break. If Kuzma sits out against the Warriors, Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija will likely draw another start.

Kuzma (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Golden State.
EDGE Analysis
The Wizards continue to handle Kuzma's status on a game-by-game basis as the All-Star break approaches. If he sits for the fourth straight game Monday, Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija would be in line for another start on the wing. The Wizards play three games this week before heading into the break.

EDGE Analysis
Kuzma will sit out his third consecutive contest Saturday while recovering from a left ankle sprain, and there is no clear indication of when he'll be back on the floor. He has three road chances to suit up next week before the All-Star break, with the first occasion arriving Monday against the Warriors.

Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice session and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game due to the left ankle injury that he sustained Saturday against the Nets. Deni Avdija, Will Barton and Anthony Gill should continue to see increased run against Charlotte, while Kuzma will have a few days to rest before Saturday's matchup against Indiana.

Kuzma (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday and will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus Charlotte, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Kuzma wasn't able to go through drills with his healthy teammates at Tuesday's practice, he's expected to go through some individual work. That said, the fact that Kuzma isn't a full participant in Tuesday's session isn't a good sign with regard to his status for Wednesday's game. If Kuzma is forced to spend another game on the sideline, Deni Avdija or Corey Kispert will likely draw another start, and the Wizards could have more minutes available off the bench for Anthony Gill.

Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma left Saturday's game against the Nets with a left ankle sprain and will be sidelined for at least one contest due to the issue. The severity of the sprain isn't known yet, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hornets. Anthony Gill (COVID-19 protocols) remains sidelined, so Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert will presumably see increased minutes in Kuzma's absence, while Will Barton, who's played sparingly since the since the end of December, may get another chance in the rotation.

Kuzma (ankle) will not return to Saturday's game against the Nets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports. He exits after playing 11 minutes and posting two points (0-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and two rebounds.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma suffered a left ankle injury while driving to the basket and stepping on a Nets player's foot. If he's forced to miss time, reserve forwards Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill (COVID-19 protocols) could see more time. It's possible Corey Kispert and Will Barton get boosts as well, though Barton is mostly out of the rotation.

Kuzma amassed 12 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one block in 37 minutes during Friday's 124-116 loss to Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma struggled from the field Friday, making just four of 11 field-goal attempts. Still, he managed a solid all-around performance, hitting a double-double on points and rebounds while adding six dimes. Kuzma has been a solid fantasy contributor so far this season and is on pace to set career highs in points (21.6), assists (4.0), and 3PM (2.5) per game in 2022-23.
