Kuzma notched 12 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Jordan Poole led the Wizards in scoring Thursday, and even though Kuzma had enough touches to deliver a strong showing, he wasn't efficient from the field and missed 10 of his 16 shots. Even though Kuzma's scoring numbers tend to be based more on volume rather than efficiency, the forward is too talented to shoot like this regularly. There's a strong chance there might have been some rust in Kuzma's regular-season debut.

Kuzma missed Wednesday's practice for personal reasons, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Brian Keefe didn't go into details, so fantasy managers will have to wait until the Wizards release their injury report Wednesday evening for more clarity. For now, Kuzma should be considered questionable for Opening Night, which is Thursday against the Celtics.

Kuzma delivered 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 17 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was one of two starters who scored in double digits Friday, with Jordan Poole being the other, and that will probably be the case in the regular season as well, with both players leading the team in scoring on a regular basis. Kuzma's shooting numbers in the preseason have been poor, but he's likely most of his fantasy production based on volume rather than efficiency. Shooting woes aside, he should be one of the few consistent fantasy options in a subpar Wizards roster that figures to finish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings once again.

Kuzma finished with seven points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and a steal across 25 minutes in Monday's 131-92 preseason loss to the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
The Wizards need Kuzma to be at his best once the regular season begins if they want to have any shot at improving following a dreadful 2023-24 campaign. Even though preseason stats should be taken with a grain of salt, this performance was certainly subpar. Kuzma averaged a career-best 22.2 points per game in 2023-24 and has scored at least 20 points per game in each of his last two campaigns in The Association.

Kuzma had 22 points (7-17 FG, 3-11 3PT, 5-9 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's preseason victory over the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma led the Wizards with 22 points, albeit on a lot of shots from both the field and the stripe. Elite percentages are not a strength when it comes to Kuzma's overall fantasy game, preferring instead to amass his points based on quantity. Despite some holes in his skill set, Kuzma should be able to flirt with top-100 value this season, at least until the Wizards lean into their youth come February.

Kuzma (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma missed 10 of Washington's final 15 regular-season games, including five straight to end the campaign. However, that was likely precautionary and helped the Wizards improve their draft position. Kuzma averaged career highs in points (22.2) and assists (4.2) per game last season while also posting career-best percentages from the field (46.3) and charity stripe (77.5). Kuzma could be a trade candidate if the Wizards fall out of playoff contention again, but as long as he's in Washington, the dynamic scorer should be a go-to player and reap the statistical benefits.

Kuzma (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma will miss his fifth straight game to end the season Sunday due to a right ankle sprain. The 28-year-old forward will end the 2023-24 campaign averaging 22.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 32.6 minutes across 70 appearances.
