Modest performance Saturday Coulibaly amassed 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Coulibaly continues to play limited minutes, much like the entire Washington starting five. In fact, all five players who began the game logged fewer than 25 minutes, a theme that, while at least predictable, makes it hard for fantasy managers to trust anyone on the Wizards roster. Unless you are desperate for steals, Coulibaly is best viewed as a streaming option in standard leagues.

Adds 17 points in loss Coulibaly finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Coulibaly led the Wizards in scoring Sunday despite playing limited minutes, recording his third-highest point total of the season and matching a season high with three made triples. The 21-year-old forward has played more than 30 minutes only twice over his last 15 games, averaging 10.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25 minutes per contest in that span.

Across-the-board performance Coulibaly accumulated 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Friday's 131-118 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Coulibaly chipped in across all major categories, despite the fact that his playing time was once again limited to fewer than 25 minutes. While his production has been adequate, there is just no way to predict who is going to step up for the Wizards on any given night. With that said, Coulibaly has at least been in the active rotation in 10 of the past 11 games, making him a borderline 12-team asset, for now.

Good to go Wednesday Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag to appear in this contest. He's coming off a dud Sunday against the Heat with seven points, four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.

Questionable for Wednesday Coulibaly is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers with right heel soreness.

Impact This is a new injury for Coulibaly, and based on previous trends, the Wizards may proceed with caution. Plus, this is the final game before the All-Star break. Coulibaly played through a back issue on Sunday and finished with seven points, four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.

Returning Sunday Coulibaly (back) is available for Sunday's game against Miami.

Impact Coulibaly is working through a lower-back issue that sidelined him for Saturday's game against the Nets, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play in the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday. Coulibaly is averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 26.6 minutes per game this season, all of which are lower than his numbers during the 2024-25 campaign.

Questionable for Sunday Coulibaly (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Miami.

Impact Coulibaly is still considered day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set Saturday against Brooklyn. If Coulibaly is unable to play, there could be more minutes available for guys like Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley.

Not playing Saturday Coulibaly (lower back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.

Impact Coulibaly is dealing with lower-back soreness that will prevent him from playing Saturday, and he'll work toward being available for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday against the Heat. The Wizards have multiple players sidelined due to injuries or having being recently acquired before the trade deadline, so Bub Carrington, Sharify Cooper, Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and others are slated for increased roles against Brooklyn.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Saturday Coulibaly (lower back soreness) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Brooklyn.

Impact The Wizards submitted a lengthy injury report for the front end of this back-to-back set. This could mean a maintenance day is on the table for several key players. Will Riley and Jamir Watkins could see an uptick in minutes if Coulibaly is held out.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Limited to 21 minutes Coulibaly chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 victory over the Kings.

Impact The Wizards did not utilize their starters down the stretch of this game, limiting Coulibaly's workload -- Bub Carrington saw the largest workload among the first unit with 23 minutes. This trend would be alarming for Coulibaly's fantasy appeal in the final few months of the season if it continues.

Impact Back in action after missing the Wizards' previous five games due to a lower-back strain, Coulibaly stepped back into the starting lineup and operated with no major restrictions. Though he handled a team-low 4.1 percent usage rate on the night, Coulibaly still paced the Wizards in assists and contributed in the defensive categories to salvage his night. He's now averaging 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks per game on the season, with both marks representing career highs.
