Khris Middleton - Posts 17 points in defeat Middleton recorded 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Middleton logged his second-best scoring total of the season during the loss, but consistency has been hard to come by for the 34-year-old veteran. After over a decade with the Bucks, Middleton's production has dropped off considerably during his first full season with the Wizards, averaging just 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists over 27 games.

Marvin Bagley III - Logs dounle-double from bench Bagley amassed 15 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Alex Sarr's ejection opened up extra opportunity for Bagley, who has largely been a non-factor in his first full season with the Wizards. The Duke product was a highly-touted first-round pick for the Kings in 2018, but he's failed to find consistent minutes during stints with Memphis and Washington. He showed flashes of his skill set in relief, but Sarr has a stranglehold on the starting job. He won't cede more minutes to Bagley anytime soon.

Kyshawn George - Paces team with 23 points in loss George registered 23 points (9-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-105 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Players dropped like flies around George during the loss, as Alex Sarr was ejected and Bilal Coulibaly exited early with a back issue. George and the Wizards made a valiant run in an attempt close the gap in the third quarter, but ultimately proved unsuccessful. Trae Young (knee, quad) is expected to miss a month, leaving George as the team's primary offensive engine if he can stay healthy.

Alex Sarr - Ejected Wednesday Sarr has been ejected from Wednesday's game against the Clippers after being assessed a second technical foul, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Sarr was issued a second technical before halftime and was ejected. The young center played 13 minutes before departing, logging four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two blocks. His absence will leave more minutes for Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic. Sarr should be back in action for Friday's game against Sacramento.

Bilal Coulibaly - Early exit Wednesday Coulibaly has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to low back tightness.

Impact Coulibaly will depart before halftime, ending Wednesday's game with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes. His absence could mean more minutes for Justin Champagnie and Malaki Branham. Coulibaly's next chance to play will come Friday at Sacramento, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.

Trae Young - Set to miss at least one month Young (knee, quadriceps) will be re-evaluated following the mid-February All-Star break, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Wizards are taking a cautious approach with their new acquisition as he deals with MCL and quadriceps injuries in his right knee. The timeline for a return likely means Young won't make his team debut for at least another month. With Young sidelined, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington should continue to push for minutes near the 30s.

Li Yueru - Participating in Unrivaled Yueru (knee) has been available for the start of the 2026 Unrivaled season, averaging 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game over her first three appearances with the...

Impact Yueru suffered an ACL sprain in her left knee in mid-August that forced her to miss the final few weeks of the 2025 WNBA season. However, her return to action in Unrivaled suggests that she's moved past the injury this winter. Yueru made 31 appearances (12 starts) between the Storm and Wings in 2025, averaging 5.1 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.3 minutes per game. She'll be a reserved player during the offseason, so the Wings will have exclusive negotiating rights with her if they extend her a qualifying offer.

Impact Ogunbowale missed the final 12 games of the 2025 WNBA season due to right knee tendinitis, but it's encouraging to see her back in action for 3-on-3 play this winter. Barring any setbacks while playing Unrivaled, she'll presumably be available for the start of training camp ahead of the WNBA campaign in 2026. Ogunbowale has spent the first seven seasons of her WNBA career with the Wings will be an unrestricted free agent during the offseason after averaging 15.5 points, 4.1 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 33.3 minutes per game over 29 starts in 2025.
