Scores eight in spot start Kispert provided eight points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.

Impact Kispert picked up three fouls in the first quarter -- including two on offense -- and was forced to sit on the bench for the entire second frame. His 19 minutes of court time Wednesday was his lowest since Jan. 24, despite the fact he was inserted into the starting lineup for Marvin Bagley (back).

Will start Wednesday Kispert will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (back) sidelined, the Wizards are going small, as Kispert will be joined by Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, Bilal Coulibaly and Tyus Jones in the starting lineup. The small-ball lineup could open up more looks for Kispert, who's averaging 15.7 points per game on 36.7 percent from deep over his last 14 appearances (one start).

Strong production off bench Kispert finished with 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 134-131 overtime loss to the Lakers.

Impact With Deni Avdija (heel) returning to action, Kispert retreated to a bench role following a spot start against the Warriors on Tuesday. However, he retained quality playing time as a reserve and continues to put up strong numbers regardless of his role. Kispert has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 18.4 points, 4.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 28.4 minutes during that stretch.

Back to bench Kispert will come off the bench for Thursday's game versus the Lakers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact No surprises here, as Deni Avdija is returning from his heel injury Thursday. The Wizards are still pretty shorthanded, meaning Kispert is likely to play a significant role with the second unit.

Pops for 20 points in return Kispert had 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-112 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Kispert returned from a one-game absence, sliding straight into the starting lineup. He was one of three Wizards players to score at least 20 points, continuing his recent uptick in offensive production. He has now scored at least 20 points in three of the past four games and makes for a viable 12-team commodity for anyone needing points and threes with a sprinkling of steals.

Starting Tuesday Kispert is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Kispert will be flanked by Jordan Poole and Landry Shamet in the backcourt, while Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley hold down the frontcourt. Kispert has logged just one prior start this season, which yielded 10 points on uncharacteristic 1-for-10 shooting from beyond the arc in 28 minutes.

Good to go Tuesday Kispert (illness) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against Golden State, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kispert returns from a one-game absence due to illness. His shooting prowess will be a welcome addition to a Washington offense that ranks 26th in offensive rating across the last four contests, and he could be in line for an untick in usage with Deni Advija (heel) inactive.

FEBRUARY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Kispert (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Chase Hughes reports.

Impact Kispert was a late scratch Sunday and remains under the weather. The timing isn't ideal for Washington, as Deni Avdija (heel) is questionable and Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) has been ruled out. Johhny Davis could see more opportunities as a result Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Late scratch Sunday Kispert (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Kispert was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to his non-COVID illness, and the Wizards ruled him out after the scheduled tipoff time for the game. His next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Warriors.

Impressive off bench once again Kispert registered 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 147-106 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Kispert is not expected to move to a starting role any time soon since the Wizards are giving minutes to the likes of Deni Avdija and Bilal Coulibaly on the wing. However, Kispert continues to find ways to produce, and he has been a reliable scorer off the bench in recent weeks for a reeling Washington team. Kispert has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 bench appearances, a span in which he's averaging 16.6 points per game while shooting 37.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Hits for 20 off bench Kispert logged 20 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 133-126 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact It's the fourth time in the last seven games Kispert has scored at least 20 points from the second unit, although he'd managed only 10 points total in the prior two contests coming into Wednesday. The third-year forward is still averaging 16.9 points, 4.1 boards, 2.9 threes and 2.7 assists over that stretch in 27.6 minutes a game, and he could be emerging as the Wizards' most consistent bench player.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Big night off bench Wednesday Kispert contributed 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Just two games after setting a season high with 26 points, Kispert came within a three-pointer of matching that output. The 2021 first-round pick has dropped at least 15 points in four straight games, taking advantage of the extra work he's picking up with Marvin Bagley (back) on the shelf. Over that four-game stretch, Kispert's averaging 20.0 points, 3.8 boards, 3.3 threes and 2.3 assists while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Season best outing as top scorer Kispert posted 26 points (10-18 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Friday's 110-102 loss to the Heat.

Impact Kispert led all players in Friday's contest in scoring and threes made while coming off the bench, both season high totals for the third-year forward. Kispert has connected on five or more threes in three games this season while surpassing the 20-point mark in four contests. He has now recorded 15 or more points in two straight outings off the bench.

Productive off bench Wednesday Kispert ended Wednesday's 125-109 loss to the Clippers with 16 points (6-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes.

Impact Kispert didn't do much outside of scoring Wednesday, but that's his main role off the bench, and his fantasy upside lives and dies based on what he does as a shooter. Over his last 10 games, Kispert is averaging 9.8 points per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range.

FEBRUARY 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Delivers 16 points off bench Kispert totaled 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Kispert has been extremely productive in a bench role for the Wizards, and he has been putting up solid scoring figures, particularly via his three-point shooting. Kispert is averaging 11.6 points per game while shooting 38.1 percent from beyond the arc in nine January contests.
