Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly is out 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly could miss the remainder of the NBA season after injuring his right hamstring earlier this week against the Toronto Raptors

MARCH 13 • Associated Press

Likely out for remainder of season The Wizards announced Thursday that Coulibaly will be out approximately 4-6 weeks with a right hamstring injury, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Coulibaly had already been ruled out Thursday due to a right hip contusion but will now miss an extended period due to a hamstring injury. Considering the Wizards are already mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and Coulibaly's return timetable, it seems unlikely he will suit up again this season. In his absence, Bub Carrington, Justin Champagnie, Marcus Smart and Corey Kispert are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Won't play Thursday vs. Detroit Coulibaly (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Thursday will be the second straight game that Coulibaly will miss due to a right hip contusion that he suffered during the Wizards' loss to the Raptors on Monday, and his next chance to see the floor is Saturday against the Nuggets. Justin Champagnie started against Detroit on Tuesday, and he figures to remain in Washington's starting lineup for Thursday's rematch due to Coulibaly's absence.

Ruled out for Tuesday Coulibaly will not play Tuesday against the Pistons with a right hip contusion.

Impact Coulibaly left Monday's game against Toronto due to right hamstring tightness and was unable to return, and now he's dealing with a contusion on his hip as well. With Coulibaly sidelined, Justin Champagnie, Marcus Smart and Corey Kispert could potentially see an uptick in minutes in the short term. Coulibaly's next chance to play comes Thursday in a rematch against Detroit.

Won't return Monday Coulibaly won't return during Monday's game against Toronto due to right hamstring tightness.

Impact Coulibaly exited to the locker room in the first quarter after being fouled on a dunk, and he'll finish the game with four points (1-1 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist across eight minutes. Justin Champagnie and Corey Kispert will likely see an uptick in playing time the rest of the way due to Coulibaly being sidelined.

Makes way to locker room Coulibaly went to the locker room during the first quarter of Monday's game against the Raptors after taking a hard fall, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Coulibaly was able to shoot his free throw after being fouled on a dunk, but he then exited and was spotted making his way to the locker room to be evaluated further. Bub Carrington would be in line for more minutes if Coulibaly can't return.

Double-double in Saturday's win Coulibaly closed Saturday's 118-117 victory over the Raptors with 18 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals over 36 minutes.

Impact The second-year wing produced his third double-double of the season, while the four steals tied his season high. Coulibaly has at least one pilfer in seven straight games, a stretch in which he's averaging 13.7 points, 4.9 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.1 threes and 0.7 blocks.

Scores 17 points in win Coulibaly amassed 17 points (6-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 34 minutes during Saturday's 113-100 win over the Hornets.

Impact Coulibaly embraced a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Jordan Poole (elbow), and while he had a strong fantasy line, he could've had an even bigger impact had he shot the ball more accurately. Coulibaly has scored in double digits in his last four games and should remain one of the Wizards' go-to options on offense as long as he stays healthy. In five games since the end of the All-Star break, Coulibaly is averaging 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from deep.
