Another positive performance Coulibaly logged 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact In just his second game back from injury, Coulibaly played a season-high 29 minutes, scoring an efficient 13 points. While his numbers won't blow anyone away, he looked comfortable on both ends of the floor and should continue to ramp up his playing time. His shooting can be an issue at times, but his defensive capabilities provide fantasy managers with a relatively safe floor.

Makes defensive impact in return Coulibaly (calf) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 28 minutes in Sunday's 129-106 loss to the Nets.

Impact Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 4 after missing four straight games due to a left calf contusion, Coulibaly stepped back into the starting five and seemingly wasn't operating with any playing-time restrictions. While he took a back seat offensively with an 11.3 percent usage rate on the day, Coulibaly performed well for fantasy managers who activated him by contributing a pair of steals and blocks. Even though the Wizards sit at just 1-12, the 21-year-old Coulibaly appears to be part of the club's long-term nucleus and should be at lesser risk than veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton in seeing his playing time cut or getting rested in games late in the season.

Available to play Coulibaly (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Nets.

NOVEMBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Coulibaly (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Coulibaly has missed Washington's last four games due to a left calf contusion, though the questionable tag suggests he may be nearing a return to game action. If the 21-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out for a fifth straight game, Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased playing time.

NOVEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Brooklyn Coulibaly (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Nets.

Impact Coulibaly doesn't have a timetable to return to action while working his way back from a left calf injury, so his absence from Sunday's game isn't surprising. His next chance to play will come against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Wednesday Coulibaly (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

NOVEMBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Monday Coulibaly (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Coulibaly is dealing with a left calf contusion and will miss his third straight game. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Rockets. With the 21-year-old sidelined, Justin Champagnie and Cam Whitmore are candidates for increased minutes.

His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Saturday on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Impact Coulibaly turned in another good performance since returning from thumb surgery, helping out on both ends of the floor. Through three games, the 21-year-old wing is averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks. His ability to contribute across the board makes him worthy of a look in most leagues.

Bilal Coulibaly's return changed the Wizards' rotation in a way nobody saw coming Bilal Coulibaly's return impacted the Wizards in an unexpected way..

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • WIZOFAWES.COM

Posts 16 points in debut Coulibaly ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 127-108 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Coulibaly started right away in his season debut, sending Bub Carrington to the bench. Although injuries limited Coulibaly to 59 games in his sophomore season, the 2024 first-round pick took a big step forward in his development as a regular producer for the Wizards. He's expected to retain his starting role at the four for the duration of the season, but the condition of his thumb should be monitored as he gets up to game speed.
