Kuzma produced 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-9 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 103-97 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma didn't have a great shooting night, especially from deep, but he made up for it with his effort on the glass. He's finished with 12 or more points in each of his last three matchups and has also helped fantasy managers with solid rebound and assist numbers over that brief stretch.

Kuzma ended with 18 points (7-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 127-117 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been Washington's No. 2 option to start the season, but he struggled Friday. It's encouraging for fantasy managers who took a chance on Kuzma that his production hasn't taken a hit alongside Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis.

Kuzma recorded 25 points (9-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 120-99 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma is enjoying an excellent start to the season and the numbers back that up, as he has led the Wizards in scoring in three of their four games while surpassing the 20-point mark in all but one game as well. He seems to be finally coming into his own, and while some regression is expected as the season progresses, there's no question he has the hottest hand on the Washington roster right now. Through four games, Kuzma has averaged 21.0 points per game.

Kuzma chipped in 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 102-100 victory over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Perhaps surprisingly, Kuzma has led the Wizards in scoring in the first two games of the campaign and has looked excellent while also showing decent levels of efficiency. It's only been two games and that's a small sample size to draw any long-term conclusions, but the fact that he's averaging 24.0 points per game while shooting 45.7 percent from the field and 38.9 percent from three-point range are encouraging figures.

Kuzma finished with 22 points (8-19 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Wednesday's win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma grabbed four rebounds in the first quarter while also knocking down three of five shots from the field, including two three-pointers off assists from Bradley Beal. The Wizards' small forward added another 11 points in the second half on 5-of-11 shooting while also flashing his defensive skills with two blocks and five fourth-quarter rebounds. Kuzma and Beal will look to lead the Wizards to their second consecutive win to open the season during Friday's home tilt against the Bulls.

Kuzma recorded seven points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three blocks and an assist across 29 minutes in Friday's 105-89 preseason loss against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma had an abysmal showing in the preseason finale, something that was even more noticeable after Rui Hachimura ended with 20 points off the bench. Kuzma is expected to open the season as the starting power forward for the Wizards, but don't be surprised if he gets moved to a bench role midway through the campaign if the struggles continue.

Kuzma (knee) will not play again this season, Andrew Gillis of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though it will end with 13 straight absences, the 2021-22 season will go down as Kuzma's best. In his debut year with the Wizards, he averaged 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 combined steals-plus-blocks. His shooting splits of 45/34/71 still need some work, but that may come with time. Barring unforeseen roster changes, Kuzma figures to remain in the starting five next season, though his usage could decline with a healthy Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis in the fold.

Kuzma (knee) is out Friday against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
After Friday, Kuzma has just one more chance to return before the end of the season. It doesn't seem likely that he'll take the floor for that game, either.

Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma hasn't suited up since March 18. After Wednesday's contest, the Wizards will only have two games remaining in the regular season, so it appears unlikely he'll return to action this season. Assuming that's the case, he'll finish the year with averages of 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33. minutes -- all career highs.

Kuzma (knee) is not expected to play Wednesday against the Hawks, Neil Dalal of Hoop District reports.
EDGE Analysis
With just two games left in the regular season, it seems unlikely that Kuzma will step on the court again. Assuming that's the case, he'll finish the year with averages of 17.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 33.4 minutes -- all career highs.
