| Thu Apr 2 | 18:55 | Kyshawn George Won't Return This Season |
Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-2026 season, according to Michael Scotto. George has been out since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. The Wizards aren't playing for anything at this point in the season. They've decided to let George sit out the final few weeks of the regular season and get ready for the 2026-2027 campaign. Over 48 games, George averaged 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 4.5 assists across 28.9 minutes per game. The 22-year-old made a nice jump in most statistical categories compared to his rookie season. He will hopefully be a key piece of the rebuilding Wizards roster going forward. |

| Wed Mar 25 | 19:16 | Kyshawn George to be Re-Evaluated in One Week |
Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (elbow) will remain sidelined and be re-evaluated in one week. George is currently working his way back from a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow. This is an issue that has kept him out since early March, and it could sideline him for the rest of the season. The Wizards will likely make a final decision on George in April, with the team only having six regular-season games left beginning April 1. With George sidelined, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins should continue seeing larger roles in the rotation. |

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (elbow) will be re-evaluated in three weeks. He has been diagnosed with a partially torn UCL in his left elbow. George suffered the injury in Monday's loss to the Houston Rockets. If he can return in three weeks, George will be available for only about 10 more games this season. The 22-year-old has enjoyed a solid sophomore campaign, averaging 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.0 steals in 29.0 minutes per game. Will Riley, Tre Johnson, and Justin Champagnie could all benefit from George's absence. |

Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (elbow) won't play Thursday against the Utah Jazz. George will miss his second consecutive game due to a sprained left elbow.

| Tue Mar 3 | 16:19 | Kyshawn George Will Not Play Tuesday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (elbow) was able to play through a knee contusion on Monday in the first game of his team's back-to-back, but he exited in the third quarter with an elbow sprain, which will keep him on the sidelines on Tuesday against Orlando. George has played very well when at full strength, but he has dealt with multiple injuries over the last several weeks. Without him on Tuesday, Will Riley should continue to get plenty of opportunities, with Tre Johnson and Bilal Coulibaly also getting more chances to contribute on the wing in this tough road game in Orlando. |

| Mon Mar 2 | 18:02 | Kyshawn George Will Face the Rockets |
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (knee) will play on Monday versus Houston. The 2024 No. 24 overall pick missed two of the Wizards' last six games. While he'll be out there on Monday, he may get the night off on Tuesday in Orlando. George played well against the Rockets back in November, finishing that one with 16 points, nine assists, seven boards, two steals, and one block. Although it's hard to imagine he'll be as productive this time around, the upside is there. |

| Sun Mar 1 | 18:32 | Kyshawn George Could Miss Game Against Houston |
Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets after being limited to 15 minutes in Saturday's loss to Toronto. The second-year wing has averaged 29.1 minutes with a 21.7 percent usage rate as a starter, though his workload has fluctuated while managing the knee issue. If he sits, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie profile as short-term streamers. Riley posted 19 points in 35 minutes last game, while Champagnie added 12 points and three blocks in 22 minutes. Still, Washington's rotation remains difficult to trust due to inconsistent minute distribution. |

| Thu Feb 26 | 15:43 | Kyshawn George Ruled Out Against Atlanta |
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (knee) was downgraded from questionable to out for Thursday night's matchup against the Hawks. George has been effective when available but has been in and out of the lineup with a variety of injuries. Now he's dealing with a left knee contusion, possibly suffered on Tuesday in a loss to the Hawks in the first game of this two-game set in Atlanta. Without him on Thursday, the Wizards will likely give more playing time to Justin Champagnie, Will Riley, and Jamir Watkins, who has his two-way contract converted to a standard deal earlier in the day. |

| Thu Feb 26 | 07:27 | Kyshawn George Questionable Thursday |
Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (knee) has been tagged as questionable for Thursday's contest against the Atlanta Hawks. The 22-year-old sophomore led the starters with 11 points in Tuesday's blowout loss to the Hawks, but he may skip the rematch due to a left knee contusion. While George turned a lot of heads early in the season, his form has faded over the course of the season. Across February, he has averaged only 10.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. Justin Champagnie could replace George in the first unit on Thursday, and he'll be worthy of some fantasy attention after averaging 12.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.0 steals over his last six appearances. |

| Fri Feb 20 | 18:24 | Kyshawn George Won't Play on Friday |
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. George suited up for Thursday's contest, but he appears to have suffered a toe sprain in the process. He finished with six points, three rebounds, and one assist in 19 minutes during Thursday's win. The Wizards have decided to play it safe during the second leg of the back-to-back set and hold out George on Friday. His absence should mean increased playing time for Justin Champagnie and Will Riley. Between the two, Champagnie is the better streaming option for Friday's slate. |

He's averaging 8.7 points, two rebounds, and 2.7 assists in February, compared to season-long averages of 15.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. Fellow Washington forward Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is also available for the Wizards tonight. |

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday against Cleveland after turning his ankle Sunday, adding another layer of uncertainty to a Washington rotation already trending toward late-season evaluation mode. If George or Bilal Coulibaly (heel) sits, minutes should open for Will Riley, who has responded when extended, averaging 18.2 points, 2.6 threes, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games. Jamir Watkins also gains fringe value. Riley profiles as a viable streamer, while George carries short-term risk in standard formats. |

| Sun Feb 8 | 13:43 | Kyshawn George is Ready to Go on Sunday |
Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. George sat out the front end of this back-to-back set due to a knee issue. It doesn't seem to be serious enough to hold him out of both games. His return to the rotation will send Will Riley back to the bench, while Keshon Gilbert sees a reduced role as well. George is averaging 15.1 points, 4.9 assists, and 5.5 rebounds across 30.5 minutes per game this season. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get George active in their lineups ahead of tip-off. |

| Fri Jan 9 | 18:54 | Kyshawn George Returning on Friday |
Washington Wizards guard Kyshawn George (hip) is active and in the starting five ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. George is back after missing seven games due to a left hip flexor strain. There is no word on George being limited, so fantasy managers should expect him to be a full-go. Before going down, George was averaging 13.1 points, 5.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds over his previous 12 games. Tre Johnson will head back to the bench and will lose streaming appeal with George back in the mix. |

Washington Wizards guard/forward Kyshawn George (hip) will miss a fifth straight game Sunday against Minnesota and remains without a timetable to return, keeping Washington's wing rotation thin. George's absence has opened steady fantasy lanes for Tre Johnson, Bub Carrington, and Justin Champagnie. Over the last four games, Johnson has averaged 16.0 points and 3.3 three-pointers in 26.8 minutes, while Carrington has produced 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 25.9 minutes with elevated turnover risk. Champagnie has delivered 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals in 27.3 minutes, making him the most stable roster play in standard formats. |

George is averaging 15.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.0 steals per game in 31.9 minutes per game in his second season in the NBA. Without him on Wednesday, Khris Middleton and Tre Johnson will likely get more work against Milwaukee, and Johnson has been surging lately and is coming off 24 points on Monday against the Suns. For as long as George is out, Johnson will be an intriguing streamer and DFS option for Washington, since he can be such an effective scorer when given minutes. |

However, the 22-year-old is now battling a left hip flexor strain, forcing him out for a second-straight contest. With Khris Middleton (knee) resting, Tre Johnson is the favorite to remain in the starting lineup. The 2025 No. 6 overall pick got the start in Sunday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies, ending the night with 14 points, four assists, one steal, and one block in 26 minutes of work. Johnson will likely see a little more action, giving him a favorable fantasy outlook despite a challenging game on tap. |

He logged 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors, finishing with 23 points, six boards, and three assists while shooting 3-for-5 from deep. Fantasy managers should consider George day-to-day, so there may be a chance he'll be back on Monday against the visiting Suns. In the meantime, Justin Champagnie, averaging 8.3 points and 6.0 rebounds in eight starts this season, is expected to replace him in the rotation. |

Tre Johnson, Will Riley, and Malaki Branham (thumb) could get more run-outs on Sunday if George misses the game, though the latter is also listed as questionable. |
