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.

Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma will miss a third straight game due to a right ankle sprain. Johnny Davis (hip) has been upgraded to available and should stick in the starting lineup. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Chicago.

Kuzma (ankle) is questionable to play Tuesday versus Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma is at risk of missing his third consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. If he's unable to take the court, Corey Kispert's booming workload will likely continue, as he has averaged 18.8 points and 38.8 minutes per game across his last six contests.

Kuzma (ankle) is out Sunday versus Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma will be sidelined for a second consecutive contest due to a right ankle sprain, which will mark his fourth absence in Washington's past five games after he previously dealt with a heel issue. Kuzma's next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Minnesota.

Kuzma (ankle) is questionable to face the Raptors on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

With four games left in the season and the Wizards having nothing to play for, it's unclear whether Washington will decide to risk Kuzma. If he doesn't play Sunday, Justin Champagnie and Eugene Omoruyi should be in line for bigger roles.
