Sat Apr 12 | 15:25 | Kyle Kuzma Probable For Season Finale |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is probable for Sunday's rematch with the Pistons. Brook Lopez (rest) and Bobby Portis (rest) won't play, and Giannis Antetokounmpo (shoulder) is doubtful. As a result, Kuzma could bounce between the four and five spots. Although he might see fewer minutes than normal, he should be more productive than usual while he is out there, assuming he gets the green light to suit up. |

Sun Mar 16 | 19:46 | Kyle Kuzma Ready To Play Sunday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (illness) will be in the lineup on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Initially, he was iffy for the contest due to an illness. Kuzma has scored in single digits for three consecutive outings and finished 0-for-4 from downtown in Saturday's win over the Indiana Pacers. Across 32 minutes of action, he amassed eight points, eight rebounds, and three steals. On Sunday, Kuzma will face the NBA's top defensive team, which will make it difficult for him to overcome his slump. |

Sun Mar 9 | 19:35 | Kyle Kuzma Available On Sunday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is available to play ahead of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kuzma has been dealing with an ankle sprain, but that won't stop him from suiting up on Sunday. He has been a solid option for the Bucks lately with 10 points or more in each of the last five games. Kuzma has been playing big minutes for the Bucks and figures to continue offering low-end value in 12-team formats. |

Wed Mar 5 | 18:42 | Kyle Kuzma Will Face The Mavs On Wednesday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will suit up on Wednesday against Dallas. The 29-year-old has played well since being traded to Milwaukee, averaging 15.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists. He appeared on the injury report because of an ankle injury. But not only is Kuzma active, but Milwaukee will have Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) and Damian Lillard (eye). Kuzma had 10 points, eight boards, and one steal versus the Mavs on Saturday. But Dallas is even more shorthanded, so he should be more productive. |

Mon Mar 3 | 21:07 | Kyle Kuzma Listed As Doubtful For Tuesday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is on the injury report with a doubtful tag ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This suggests that Kuzma is unlikely to play. Over his first 10 appearances with Milwaukee, the veteran forward has averaged 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 34.2 minutes. The Bucks are still without Bobby Portis (suspension), which means someone else from the second unit needs to step up. AJ Green and Gary Trent Jr. may be more involved in the action. The latter has already gained some momentum, averaging 17.5 points over the last two games. |

Fri Feb 7 | 18:41 | Kyle Kuzma Makes Bucks Debut Friday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma will make his team debut in Friday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Following his trade from the Washington Wizards, it was initially uncertain if Kuzma would be available to suit up on Friday. The Bucks have Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) on the shelf, so Kuzma has a good opportunity to make a significant impact right away. It's a good fantasy matchup against a team ranked second in pace but with a mediocre defensive rating. |

Fri Feb 7 | 17:33 | Kyle Kuzma Questionable To Make Bucks Debut On Friday |
Milwaukee Bucks forward Kyle Kuzma is listed as questionable to debut with his new club on Friday. Kuzma was a part of the trade that sent Kris Middleton to the Wizards on Wednesday. The 29-year-old suited up 32 times for Washington this season before the Bucks acquired him. In D.C., he averaged 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. If Kuzma doesn't play this evening, he could make his Bucks debut on Sunday at home against the Sixers. |

Wed Feb 5 | 16:24 | Kyle Kuzma Traded To Bucks |
Shams Charania of ESPN reports that the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Kyle Kuzma, forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a 2025 second-round draft pick from the Wizards on Wednesday for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson and a 2028 first-round pick swap. Kuzma has struggled at times during the season, averaging 15.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest. However, a change of scenery may help the 29-year-old fantasy-wise, as he could move into the Bucks' starting lineup. |

Wed Jan 8 | 18:48 | Kyle Kuzma Will Play On Wednesday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (calf) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kuzma exited early on Tuesday due to a right calf contusion, but it doesn't look like it's going to cost him any time. He was listed as questionable coming into the game, but he'll ultimately suit up on Wednesday. He has been playing better lately with a 28-point performance last week. Fantasy managers who have Kuzma rostered can get him back in there on Wednesday. Kuzma has been inconsistent this season, but he's still worth rostering in most fantasy formats. |

Tue Jan 7 | 20:39 | Kyle Kuzma Exits Game Early With Calf Contusion |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma exited Tuesday night's game against the Houston Rockets early with a calf contusion, according to the team. Kuzma scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds before leaving after halftime. The 29-year-old has already missed 12 games this season due to a rib injury. If Kuzma is forced to miss extended time, expect Corey Kispert to get more playing time at forward. |

Mon Dec 30 2024 | 18:37 | Kyle Kuzma Returns To Wizards Lineup |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) will return to action on Monday versus the Knicks. A left rib injury has kept Kuzma off the court for 12 games. Kuzma has struggled to stay healthy all season, making just 12 appearances. He has scored 15.8 points per game while grabbing 5.6 rebounds. Jordan Poole (hip) is out on Monday, so we should see Kuzma plenty with the ball, although he might be a bit rusty after missing a month of action. |

Wed Dec 18 2024 | 10:21 | Kyle Kuzma Ramping Up |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) wasn't available for Tuesday's practice but is ramping up in his recovery. Kuzma suffered a rib cartilage sprain on Nov. 27 in a game against the Clippers. He's been out for the subsequent seven contests. It looks like Kuzma still needs more time to recover, but his return shouldn't be far away anymore. The 29-year-old sits second in scoring on the team with 15.8 points per game and has averaged 5.6 rebounds. Bilal Coulibaly's role on offense has grown during Kuzma's absence. He's averaged 21.0 points across the past three games. |

Fri Dec 13 2024 | 15:03 | Kyle Kuzma Out Again Friday Against Cavaliers |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out again for the sixth consecutive game since injuring his ribs against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 27. The veteran power forward has yet to find his footing this year in the midst of the injuries he's experienced. Right now, his numbers have decreased across the board from last season, especially in scoring and efficiency. In his place, Justin Champagnie will likely continue to get some more playing time. Champagnie has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game over the last three games. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sprained left rib. With Kuzma struggling to match his strong numbers from last season, this injury adds to his challenges. He's averaging 27.4 minutes, 15.8 points, and 5.6 rebounds per game this year, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Memphis. In the meantime, Bilal Coulibaly, Carlton Carrington, and Johnny Davis are expected to step up and fill the void. |

Fri Nov 29 2024 | 19:57 | Kyle Kuzma Out On Saturday Night |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Kuzma injured his groin during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, so fantasy managers already had an idea this was coming. He's already missed five games this season because of a rib injury. However, it's anyone's guess when the 29-year-old will be back on the floor. But until Kuzma returns, Kyshawn George, averaging 12.3 points and 5.3 boards in six starts this season, is worth streaming, although his 26.1% shooting from deep won't be appreciated by category managers. |

Wed Nov 27 2024 | 22:58 | Kyle Kuzma Injured On Wednesday Night |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (rib) exited Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He did not return. The 29-year-old wasn't on the court long, logging only eight minutes before calling it a night because of a rib sprain. But now the real question is if he'll be ready to go Saturday's game in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, fantasy managers are used to this, so they are already preparing for Kuzma to miss at least a game or two. He'll likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Poole should benefit if Kuzma spends time on the shelf. Alexandre Sarr, Malcolm Brogdon, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibaly could also see an uptick in production. |

Fri Nov 8 2024 | 14:41 | Kyle Kuzma Won't Suit Up On Friday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) will remain sidelined on Friday while he heals from a strained groin. This will be his fourth consecutive missed game after suffering the strain on October 28 against the Atlanta Hawks. While he's been out, the Wizards have embraced the new youth movement. Alexandre Sarr, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibaly have all joined the starting five while Corey Kispert has seen plenty of minutes from the bench. All of which are solid streaming options in 12-team leagues and deeper. |

Mon Nov 4 2024 | 12:13 | Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out Again With Groin Strain |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) has been ruled out for a third consecutive game as he continues to deal with a right groin strain. There hasn't been a firm timetable for his return and the Wizards likely won't rush him back as they give some of their younger prospects extended time on the court. Alexandre Sarr has spent some extra time with the starting five along with Bilal Coulibaly and Marvin Bagley III has seen a few opportunities off of the bench. The former two have served as better streaming options. |

Fri Nov 1 2024 | 23:35 | Kyle Kuzma Out Again On Saturday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't play on Saturday versus the Heat. This will mark the veteran's second consecutive absence because of a groin strain suffered in Monday's game against Atlanta. Kyshawn George entered the starting lineup for Wednesday's win over the Atlanta Hawks, the second of back-to-back games with the club, finishing with 11 points, four assists, and three steals. While George still has a lot to prove, he's worth monitoring in case he continues to play well. But as far as Saturday's contest is concerned, Bilal Coulibaly and Jordan Poole are the players anticipated to benefit the most from Kuzma's absence. Corey Kispert, coming off a 16-point showing on Wednesday, can also be added to fantasy lineups. |

Tue Oct 29 2024 | 19:55 | Kyle Kuzma Won't Play Versus Atlanta |
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't play in Wednesday's rematch with the Hawks. The 29-year-old came close to a triple-double in Monday's game versus Atlanta, amassing 25 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. He also logged a game-high 40 minutes. However, Kuzma couldn't finish the game due to a right groin strain. There's a realistic chance the injury could cost him a substantial amount of time. But until Kuzma is back on the floor, Jordan Poole, Bilal Coulibaly, and Corey Kispert should pick up most of the slack. At the same time, rookie Bub Carrington, who has averaged 8.7 points in three games this season, is worth monitoring in case his role grows even more. |
