Kuzma, Dinwiddie lead Wizards to stunner past 76ers 106-103

Spencer Dinwiddie had a triple-double to lead the Washington Wizards to a 106-103 win over the Philadelphia 76ers

Ruled out Wednesday Bryant (ankle) is out Wednesday against the 76ers.

Impact Per Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington, Bryant sustained what head coach Wes Unseld Jr. described as a "significant" sprained right ankle in Tuesday's loss to the Bucks, so the center's absence for the second half of the back-to-back set comes as little surprise. Daniel Gafford and Montrezl Harrell should fill the majority of the minutes at center and could benefit from upticks in playing time for as long as Bryant is sidelined.

Impact Coach Wes Unseld Jr. said it's unlikely Bryant plays on the second night of the back-to-back Wednesday against the 76ers. Assuming that's the case, more usage will be available for Daniel Gafford and Montrezl Harrell.

Will remain starter Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said after Saturday's 115-95 loss to the Grizzlies that Bryant will remain in the starting five for at least a few more games, Josh Robbins of The...

Impact After he was cleared to make his season debut Jan. 12 following an extended recovery from the torn ACL he suffered just over a year earlier, Bryant had been eased back into the mix in a bench role. He was part of a three-man rotation at center in each of his first seven appearances, averaging 7.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 14.6 minutes per contest. Unseld made the decision prior to Saturday's contest to reinsert Bryant as the starter, with Daniel Gafford heading to the bench in a corresponding move and being left out of the rotation entirely. Though Bryant saw some extra run (20 minutes) in his move to the top unit, he didn't make much of a mark in the box score (four points on 2-for-8 shooting from the field, four rebounds, one steal and one block), and he allowed his counterpart at center, Steven Adams, to scoop up five offensive boards in his first stint on the court. Unseld believes Bryant can improve once he has a few more games to shake off the rust, but the 24-year-old will need to deliver better results sooner or later to ensure he sticks ahead of both Montrezl Harrell and Gafford on the depth chart for the rest of the season.

Starting against Grizzlies Bryant is starting Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Bryant came off the bench in each of his first seven appearances of the season and averaged 7.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game. He'll take Daniel Gafford's place in the starting lineup Saturday.

Sees usage bump Bryant closed with 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Sunday's 116-87 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Bryant played in his sixth game of the season after recovering from an ACL tear, logging over 20 minutes for the first time. While the blowout nature of the game was an influencing factor, it is still encouraging to see Bryant's activity ramp up. Even once his workload stabilizes, he's unlikely to carve out a fantasy relevant role in Washington.

Scores 15 in 16 minutes Bryant logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Making his third appearance since returning from a torn ACL, this was easily Bryant's best showing after he totaled just six points, three rebounds, one assist and no blocks or steals through his first two contests (23 total minutes). Bryant was able to take advantage of starting center Daniel Gafford's foul trouble, as both he and Rui Hachimura (16 minutes) ended up seeing more action than Gafford, who picked up four personals in just eight minutes. It's still unclear exactly how the minutes will break down when all three of those big men -- plus Montrezl Harrell -- are fully healthy, but Bryant could eventually make a run at unseating Gafford for the starting spot.

Makes season debut off bench Bryant amassed six points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 victory over the Magic.

Impact Bryant saw his first game action in more than a calendar year and played a minor role off the bench for Washington in his debut. The 24-year-old should continue building up to full strength over the next couple weeks and could push Daniel Gafford for the starting role at center.
