Kuzma (ribs) is out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma didn't participate in Friday's practice and wasn't expected to play Saturday, so the designation isn't surprising. The veteran forward will also likely miss Tuesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. Kyshawn George, Patrick Baldwin and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased playing time with Kuzma sidelined.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma missed both of his shot attempts across eight minutes before heading to the locker room. Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased roles the rest of the way. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Saturday in Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma missed both of his shot attempts across eight minutes before heading to the locker room. It's unclear if he'll be able to return, but Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased roles in Kuzma's absence.

Kuzma logged 23 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-108 loss to Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

He led all scorers on the night, but Kuzma didn't get enough help from his teammates to avoid a 12th straight loss for the Wizards. The 29-year-old forward is still struggling to find his rhythm on offense. Over eight games since returning from a groin strain, Kuzma is shooting just 27.5 percent (11-for-40) from three-point range and 62.5 percent from the free-throw line, numbers well below his career rates.

Kuzma ended Sunday's 115-103 loss to the Pacers with 10 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

This was a lackluster effort from Kuzma, especially considering that Jordan Poole (hip) was out of the lineup. Kuzma has had a tough season so far, as he's shooting 42.9 percent from the field and 28.8 percent from beyond the arc, and his counting stats are down across the board.

Kuzma ended Sunday's 124-104 loss to Detroit with 22 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma and Jordan Poole co-led the Wizards in scoring Sunday, with the former registering his third 20-point game of the 2024-25 regular season. In his four outings since returning from a five-game absence due to a groin injury, Kuzma has averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 26.9 minutes per game.

Kuzma accumulated 24 points (11-28 FG, 2-11 3Pt), nine rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Friday's 129-117 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma paced Washington's scoring attack despite a rough shooting night. He also fell one rebound shy of his second double-double of the campaign, marking his best effort on the glass since Oct. 28. Friday's showing was arguably Kuzma's best all-around performance since a right groin injury forced him to miss five games earlier in the month.

Kuzma notched 18 points (7-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma finally returned to the hardwood after a five-game absence and was one of the Wizards' main offensive weapons despite the 15-point defeat. Kuzma has been struggling from the floor to open the season, as he's made just 34.3 percent of his shots thus far. That's not going to cut it in a long-term scenario, even if he's scoring enough to offset the lack of efficiency.

Kuzma (groin) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

After missing Washington's past five games with a right groin strain, Kuzma is poised to return to action Monday. It's possible that Kuzma will have some restrictions with his playing time Monday, but no specifics have been reported yet. With Kuzma returning to the court, Kyshawn George appears most at risk of losing his spot in the starting five.
