Thu Mar 13 | 17:14 | Bilal Coulibaly Could Miss Rest Of Season |
According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, the Washington Wizards announced that guard/forward Bilal Coulibaly(hip) will be out for approximately 4-6 weeks due to a right hamstring injury. Coulibaly was already going to miss Thursday's contest against the Pistons as he's also been dealing with a right hip contusion. Washington has been eliminated from playoff contention, so they may decide to just shut down the 20-year-old for the remainder of the season. With Coulibaly sidelined for the foreseeable future, players like Corey Kispert, Bub Carrington, Justin Champagnie and Marcus Smart will be in line for extra minutes and more scoring opportunities to close out the regular season's final month. |

Over 16 starts this season, Champagnie has averaged 11.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.4 steals. |

Mon Jan 6 | 21:16 | Bilal Coulibaly Could Be Ready To Return Against Houston |
Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly has had a strong second season in the NBA, and he could be ready to return to action after missing the last two games for the Wizards with an illness. He was listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets along with several other key parts of the Wizards rotation like Jordan Poole (hip) and Bub Carrington (ankle). The 20-year-old has started 29 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 12.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.4 steals in 33.8 minutes per game. If Coulibaly is sidelined again on Tuesday, Justin Champagnie would be the primary beneficiary, since he would likely continue to start alongside Kyle Kuzma while Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George could also potentially get more work in the second unit. |

Sun Jan 5 | 17:30 | Bilal Coulibaly Ruled Out Sunday Against New Orleans |
Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly (illness) will miss a second straight game when the Wizards face the Pelicans on Sunday afternoon. Coulibaly has been averaging 33.8 minutes per game, and the 20-year-old from France is on pace to set career highs across the board. On Friday without Coulibaly, Kyle Kuzma returned to the starting lineup while Justin Champagnie stayed in the starting five and slid to small forward. Both Champagnie and Kuzma had solid games and could get even more work with Jordan Poole (hip) joining Coulibaly on the sideline. |

Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans while he deals with a non-COVID illness. He could only play eight minutes in their game on Wednesday before exiting with the same illness he's dealing with now. Corey Kispert could move into the starting five if they still want Kyle Kuzma to come off of the bench. Kispert would be more likely to be available across more leagues while Justin Champagnie has been a solid streamer after dropping 15 points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in their last game. |

Mon Dec 23 2024 | 19:08 | Bilal Coulibaly Won't Play Monday |
Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. His absence shouldn't come as a huge surprise considering Coulibaly was listed as doubtful heading into this game. The absence of Coulibaly will open up significant playing time considering he's averaging 34 minutes per game this season. Justin Champagnie, Corey Kispert, and Johnny Davis should all see bigger roles on Monday. Champagnie posted a dud his last time out, but remains the best streaming option between the three ahead of Monday's game. |

Mon Dec 23 2024 | 17:44 | Bilal Coulibaly Listed As Questionable Against Thunder |
Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coulibaly is dealing with left groin soreness. The 20-year-old hasn't missed a game in a month so both Wizards fans and fantasy managers should be hopeful he's able to gut it out. He's running hot over his last five games, averaging 19.4 PPG, 7.0 RPG and 5.0 APG in that time. If he's unable to go, expect Corey Kispert to slide into the starting rotation. Kispert has scored 13 and 16 points in his last two games while going three-for-five from three in each game. He'd make an intriguing fantasy option if Coulibaly is unable to go. |

Mon Nov 18 2024 | 18:54 | Bilal Coulibaly Absent On Monday |
Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Coulibaly took a hit to the head during Sunday's game, so he's likely still feeling it on Monday. The Wizards don't play again until Friday after this game, so hopefully Coulibaly will be ready to play by then. Corey Kispert, Malcolm Brogdon, and Kyshawn George are all candidates to see increased playing time with Coulibaly out. Between the trio, Kispert is the strongest fantasy option right now. He's averaging 11 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 29 minutes per game this season. He should see a bigger role in the rotation until Coulibaly returns. |

Mon Nov 18 2024 | 16:24 | Bilal Coulibaly Tagged As Questionable On Monday |
Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been deemed questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the New York Knicks. In the Wizards' last game, Coulibaly took an elbow to the mouth, so the team has listed him with a "post-traumatic" head injury. The Frenchman has been enjoying a solid start to the season as he's increased his numbers almost fully across the board from his rookie year. If he can't suit up in this contest, Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert are likely to see the biggest increases in usage. |
