Bilal Coulibaly News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Career-high five steals in win Coulibaly posted 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five steals over 34 minutes during the Wizards' 120-112 win over the Magic on Tuesday.

Impact Coulibaly finished as the Wizards' fourth leading scorer and was two rebounds shy from registering his first double-double of the season, but he made his presence felt mostly on the defensive end with a career high in steals. It's been an up-and-down season for the third-year pro due to multiple injuries, but in eight games since Dec. 23 he has averaged 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks over 27.6 minutes per game.

Seasons-high four steals Coulibaly totaled 11 points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 119-99 victory over the Nets.

Impact Coulibaly delivered six combined steals and blocks, somewhat negating the fact that he continues to struggle with his shot. Despite scoring double digits in six straight games, he has shot just 39.4 percent from the floor during that time. Assuming you can absorb his inefficient shooting, Coulibaly is worth rostering in standard leagues, specifically for those in need of defensive contributions.

Impact Coulibaly finished third on the Wizards in rebounds behind Alex Sarr (nine) and Justin Champagnie (12), and Coulibaly tied a season high with three steals. The third-year pro from France has had an up-and-down 2025-26 campaign, largely in part due to injuries disrupting any momentum from forming. However, Coulibaly has logged at least 14 points in each of his last three games, and over that span he has averaged 16.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 threes, 2.0 steals and 1.3 blocks over 26.0 minutes per game.

Impact Coulibaly came out firing after halftime, scoring 15 of his 21 points over the final two quarters of the game and tied with CJ McCollum for the second-most points on the Wizards behind Kyshawn George (23). It was Coulibaly's best scoring performance of the season and also tied a season high with three steals. The third-year forward will look to build off that strong performance against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Impact It'll be a second consecutive absence for Coulibaly, who had just returned from a lengthy layoff with an oblique strain.

Inefficient in return Coulibaly ended with three points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 119-94 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Coulibaly returned from a four-game absence as a result of an oblique injury, sliding straight into the starting lineup. While his role appears relatively secure, the same cannot be said about his on-court production. In eight appearances over the past month, Coulibaly has averaged just 7.6 points and 1.3 steals in 28.2 minutes per game, shooting 35.2 percent from the field. At this point, he should be viewed as nothing more than a short-term specialist for anyone needing steals.

Impact Coulibaly suffered a strained right oblique in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers, and the issue is slated to keep him on the sidelines for multiple weeks.
