Bucks vs. Wizards - News - October 21, 2026 | FOX Sports

Felix Okpara - Iffy for Friday Okpara (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact The Wizards figure to check back in with Okpara closer to tipoff. The rookie big man may not see the floor even if he's available, though.

Deandre Ayton - Swats two shots in Wizards' debut Ayton accumulated 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and two blocks over 15 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 win over Milwaukee.

Impact Ayton was solid in his debut for Washington as the backup center behind Alex Sarr, who finished with six points, nine rebounds and two assists in the season-opening victory. Ayton tied Bilal Coulibaly (11/2/1/2/4) for the team lead in blocks and did not commit any personal fouls or turnovers. He should typically see 15-18 minutes a night as the first big off the bench.

Bub Carrington - Plays well in backup role Carrington totaled 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 win over the Bucks.

Impact Carrington stuffed the stat sheet as Trae Young's (20/0/13/2/0) backup, finishing tied for second on the team in dimes while leading the way in made three-pointers. The third-year pro should continue operating as the primary ballhandler in the second unit against the Raptors on Friday.

Tre Johnson - Modest production in opener Johnson logged eight points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one block over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 win over Milwaukee.

Impact The second-year guard was effective in his time off the bench despite the modest statistical output. Kyshawn George (18/5/3/1/1) impressed in the starting lineup, meaning Johnson will have to make the most of his minutes in the second unit as long as the Wizards are healthy.

Justin Champagnie - Solid off the bench in season opener Champagnie supplied eight points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 victory over the Bucks.

Impact With AJ Dybantsa (ankle) sidelined for the season-opening win, Champagnie played the most minutes of any Washington bench player. Bilal Coulibaly (11/2/1/2/4) earned the start in his absence, but Champagnie nearly notched a double-double and finished with a game-best plus-17 as a reserve. The rotation will be something to keep an eye on once Dybantsa returns, but the sixth-year pro should continue to see 15-20 minutes a night.

Alex Sarr - Quiet in season-opening victory Sarr contributed six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Sarr's 2026-27 debut alongside Anthony Davis (34/12/4/1/2) left a lot to be desired. The first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft was unable to make an impact on the defensive end after averaging 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals across 48 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Sarr will aim to make more of an impact on Friday against the Raptors.

Kel'el Ware - Fouls out in limited run Ware ended with seven points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 128-116 loss to Washington.

Impact Ware struggled with foul trouble in his Milwaukee debut, picking up six personals while serving as a reserve behind Myles Turner. The young center showed some offensive activity but missed both three-point attempts and two free throws. His fantasy upside remains intriguing, though his production could be inconsistent while operating in a limited role.
