Wizards head coach Wes Unseld said he is "doubtful" that Kuzma (knee) will be able to play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma has missed back-to-back games after being a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Lakers due to right knee tendinitis. Unseld relayed that Kuzma was a partial participant during Wednesday's practice and is technically questionable for Thursday, though the coach's comments suggest he's unlikely to suit up.

Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Rockets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was initially listed as questionable, but Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Saturday that he expected him to suit up, so his status comes at a bit of a surprise. In his absence, Rui Hachimura, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are all candidates for increased roles.

Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said after Saturday's 127-119 win over the Lakers that Kuzma (knee) is expected to play Monday against the Rockets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was a late scratch for Saturday's contest due to right knee tendinitis, but it appears his absence was mostly precautionary. The 26-year-old's outlook will receive additional clarity when Washington releases its official injury report for Monday.

Kuzma won't play in Saturday's game against the Lakers due to right knee tendinitis, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma wasn't included on Detroit's initial injury report, but he won't be available Saturday against Los Angeles due to the knee issue. As a result, Rui Hachimura will draw the start at power forward in his place. Kuzma's next chance to return will come Monday against the Rockets.

Kuzma chipped in 18 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 100-97 loss to the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma continues to flash his facilitation skills, racking up nine assists in the loss. With the team certainly not loaded when it comes to productive point guards, Kuzma has been able to take on more of a ball-handling role, averaging 5.7 assists over the past month. Outside of a drop in rebounding numbers, Kuzma has been able to maintain his form despite the arrival of Kristaps Porzingis. Barring injury, he should be a solid asset for the rest of the season.

Kuzma finished with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-9 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes Friday in the Wizards' 122-109 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Facing off against his former team for the first time, Kuzma cleared the 20-point barrier for the sixth time in the last seven games, but an awful night from the free-throw line lessened the appeal of his line in season-long category leagues. Even so, Kuzma has remained an exceptional value in both points and categories leagues, as he surprisingly emerged as the Wizards' unquestioned No. 2 option behind Bradley Beal (wrist) earlier in the campaign, only to move into an even larger role after Beal was shut down for good in late January. The Wizards have since reintegrated trade-deadline pickup Kristaps Porzingis into the mix, but Kuzma's usage has taken only a minor hit in his first three games alongside Porzingis.

Kuzma racked up 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 133-123 win over the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma logged at least eight assists for the fourth time this season, all of which have some since mid-January. Additionally, he's supplied 22.0 points and 8.3 assists over his last three contests. The Wizards will be off until Wednesday, but Kuzma will look to carry his momentum into that showdown with the Clippers.

Kuzma had 22 points (9-21 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-114 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma wasn't particularly efficient from the floor Friday, and he failed to convert any of his six attempts from beyond the arc during the narrow loss. However, he continued to have plenty of shot volume and was able to top 20 points for the seventh time in the last eight games while also dishing out a season-high 11 assists. Across his last eight appearances, Kuzma has averaged 23.6 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 36.9 minutes per game.

Kuzma registered 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma scored 20-plus points for the sixth time over his last seven games and fell one rebound shy of his third double-double during that stretch. Since the beginning of February (12 games), the fifth-year forward has averaged 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 34.9 minutes per contest. He's solidified himself as the go-to option in Washington since the trade of Bradley Beal, though Kristaps Porzingis (knee) could compete for that title when he's finally cleared for action.

Kuzma finished with 34 points (13-22 FG, 8-11 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma cleared the 30-point mark for the second game in a row thanks largely to his red-hot shooting from downtown, with the eight made three-pointers representing a new career high. After Bradley Beal (wrist) was shut down for the season at the beginning of the month, Kuzma has proceeded to step in as the Wizards' clear No. 1 option on offense. Kuzma concluded February with averages of 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 11 appearances.
