INJURIES

Heads to bench Avdija isn't included in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Impact As expected, Avdija will head back to the bench after he made a spot start Friday against the Raptors in place of Kyle Kuzma (neck), who has been cleared to return from a one-game absence. In the Wizards' 109-105 loss to Toronto, Avdija played 31 minutes and totaled nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six assists and five rebounds. He'll likely see his court time drop down to around 20 minutes with Kuzma back in the mix.

Starting Friday Avdija is starting Friday's game against the Raptors
Impact Avdija will make his first start since Jan. 5 since Kyle Kuzma (neck) was a late scratch Friday. He's averaged 6.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game across his last five appearances.
JANUARY 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Productive despite loss Avdija recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets.
Impact Avdija made contributions across the board, was efficient offensively, and logged a healthy plus-3 in the box score. He trailed only Montrezl Harrell in minutes off the bench. Avdija has been an underrated defender this season, trailing only Kyle Kuzma and Daniel Gafford in defensive win shares for Washington. He ranks in the top-100 in DWS league-wide despite his limited playing time, ahead of guys like Scottie Barnes and Patrick Beverley. The 21-year-old is a project, but his trajectory is encouraging.
