Kuzma (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma didn't play in the second half of Tuesday's blowout loss to the Rockets due to a right calf contusion and may be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. Carlton Carrington (back) and Alexandre Sarr (illness) are also questionable, while Marvin Bagley (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (foot) and Jordan Poole (hip) have all been ruled out already.

Kuzma (calf) finished Tuesday's game versus the Rockets with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 17 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was initially deemed out for the remainder of Tuesday's contest due to a right calf contusion but was subsequently upgraded to questionable. Regardless, Kuzma did not play at all during the second half against Houston, and his status for Wednesday's matchup with Philadelphia is uncertain.

After initially ruling Kuzma (calf) out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, he is now deemed questionable to return, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma left Tuesday's contest after logging 17 minutes of action due to a right calf contusion. While it now appears that Kuzma could return to action against Houston, at the very least, it is a good sign that he has avoided a serious injury.

Kuzma will not return to Tuesday's matchup against the Rockets due to a right calf contusion, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports. He'll finish the game with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma will not return for the second half of Tuesday's contest, and his availability for the second leg of the club's back-to-back set Wednesday against the 76ers is now in jeopardy. If the star forward remains sidelined Tuesday, Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie are candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Kuzma posted 28 points (13-23 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Sunday's 110-98 loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

It was Kuzma's best performance since returning from a rib injury and one of his finest overall this season, as the forward tallied a season-high 28 points to go with a full stat line Sunday. Over his last four games (two starts), Kuzma is averaging 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.6 minutes. The 29-year-old's 31 minutes against the Pelicans were also his most since he rejoined Washington's lineup, so whatever minutes restrictions Kuzma may have had appear to have loosened.

Kuzma finished with 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 132-120 loss to New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Making his first start since Nov. 27 and seeing his biggest workload in three games since returning from a rib issue, Kuzma provided modest production. The 29-year-old forward's numbers on the season are well off his usual pace, which has suppressed his trade value, but Kuzma still has time to to build a case that he can help a contender prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Kuzma is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards will be without Bilal Coulibaly (illness), so Kuzma will return to the starting lineup for the first time since returning to action after a 12-game absence due to a rib injury. Kuzma's previous start came Nov. 27 in a loss to the Clippers. He's averaging 15.8 points per game in a starting role in 2024-25.

Kuzma is not part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma played 21 minutes off the bench Monday in his return from a 12-game absence and will remain out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Kuzma shouldn't be expected to see a much larger workload against the Bulls, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the power forward push for 25 minutes. Justin Champagnie remains in the starting five.

Kuzma racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 126-106 loss to New York.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma returned from a 12-game absence, coming off the bench as a way of easing him back into the rotation. Despite the layoff, Kuzma delivered a typical performance, focusing on scoring while struggling to deliver in the peripheral categories. Assuming he can stay healthy, he should be back in the starting lineup sooner rather than later.

Kuzma is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Knicks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma has missed the last 12 games due to a sprained rib cartilage, so it's no surprise that the Wizards will bring on the veteran forward slowly in his return. Justin Champagnie will remain in the Wizards' starting five.
