Impact The second-year wing is still struggling to be a consistent offensive threat, but Coulibaly is making his mark at the other end of the court. He's recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game three times in his last 12 outings, averaging 11.8 points, 3.9 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 0.8 threes over that stretch, but his 40.0 percent shooting from the floor and 21.3 percent mark from beyond the arc highlight the areas the seventh overall pick in the 2023 Draft still needs to work on.

Fills stat sheet in loss Monday Coulibaly finished Monday's 130-108 loss to the Mavericks with 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes.

Impact Coulibaly hasn't reached the 20-point mark since his 20-point game against the Hornets on Dec. 26, but he remains a reliable fantasy asset in a struggling Wizards. Aside from scoring in double digits in eight of his previous nine contests, he's also done a good job filling out the stat sheet in that stretch, giving him solid value across all formats. He's averaging 12.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over that nine-game span.

Strong all-around showing Coulibaly closed with 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 111-88 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The Wizards looked overmatched in this win, but Coulibaly delivered a solid showing across the board and filled the stat sheet. That's becoming customary for the second-year forward, who has improved by leaps and bounds this season compared to his rookie campaign. He's averaging 11.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.0 steals per game over his last six outings.

Modest results in loss Coulibaly totaled 13 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 130-123 loss to the Suns.

Impact Coulibaly has been as streaky as any player in the NBA this season, but he's now strung together three straight performances in double scoring figures after shooting a paltry 28.9 percent from the field over his prior five outings. The second-year wing has also recorded at least one steal or a block in eight of his last nine outings to help offset his shooting woes, but it's becoming clear the 2023 No. 7 overall pick remains a work in progress with the rebuilding Wizards. Coulibaly remains a solid source of defensive stats with the capability to contribute across the board, but fantasy managers will likely have to deal with some shaky nights offensively.

Returning to action Tuesday Coulibaly (illness) will play in Tuesday's game against Houston, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coulibaly missed the last two contests due to his illness, but he has been cleared to play and will be back in action Tuesday. He is averaging 12.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks across 33.8 minutes this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Houston Coulibaly (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Coulibaly is considered day-to-day due to a non-COVID illness, which has prevented him from playing in the Wizards' last two games. Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert have directly benefited from Coulibaly's absence in terms of playing time and increased usage on offense, though Johnny Davis and Anthony Gill could see some minutes off the bench if Coulibaly doesn't play Tuesday.

Won't play against NOLA Coulibaly (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coulibaly will miss his second straight game due to a non-COVID illness. He's considered day-to-day, and his next opportunity to play will be Tuesday against the Rockets. Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert should see an uptick in playing time off the Wizards' bench due to Coulibaly's absence.

Listed as questionable Coulibaly (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Coulibaly was unable to play Friday against the Pelicans after leaving Wednesday's game versus the Bulls in the first quarter. He's day-to-day, however, and the Wizards may see how he feels Sunday morning before a decision is made on his status. Jordan Poole (hip) is also questionable Sunday.

Won't play Friday vs. NOLA Coulibaly (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Coulibaly left in the first quarter of Wednesday's 125-107 win over the Bulls due to an illness. It appears serious enough for him to already be ruled out for Friday's game, and his next opportunity to play will be Sunday in a rematch against New Orleans. Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George stand to benefit the most from Coulibaly's absence in terms of playing time.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Wednesday Coulibaly has been ruled out for the rest of Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to a non-COVID illness, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Coulibaly went to the locker room in the first quarter of Wednesday's game and will not return for the rest of the contest. He'll end his night with zero points, two assists, one rebound and one steal over nine minutes. Corey Kispert, Kyle Kuzma and Kyshawn George should see additional playing time for the rest of Wednesday's game due to Coulibaly's absence.
