Trae Young - Double-doubles with two steals Young closed with 20 points (4-13 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 12-16 FT), 13 assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 victory over Milwaukee.

Impact Young had a tough time getting his shot to drop and missed all six of his three-point attempts, but he did a nice job of creating contact and getting to the line for easy buckets. He also finished with just one turnover in 38 minutes of floor time, an impressive feat given his game-high 13 dimes.

Anthony Davis - Double-doubles with three stocks Davis finished Wednesday's 128-116 win over Milwaukee with 34 points (11-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Davis dominated in his Wizards' regular-season debut, leading his team in rebounding, shot attempts and scoring. At times, he brought the ball up the floor and operated in a point-center role when Trae Young was off the court, so he should see significant usage in head coach Brian Keefe's system. When healthy, Davis is a league-winning fantasy asset.

Kyshawn George - Scores 18 points with two stocks George had 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-116 win over Milwaukee.

Impact George was aggressive on offense, finishing second on the team in shot attempts behind Anthony Davis in the win. He also committed a team-high four turnovers, but overall, it was a solid debut for the third-year swingman. This was Washington's first season-opening win since 2022.

Bilal Coulibaly - Starting sans Dybantsa Coulibaly is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks.

Impact Fantasy managers will have to wait at least one more game for rookie No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa (ankle) to make his highly anticipated NBA debut, with Coulibaly getting the nod in the first unit for Opening Night. The third-year forward can struggle with his shooting efficiency at times, but Coulibaly is capable of contributing across the board and makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option Wednesday.

Top draft pick AJ Dybantsa to miss the season opener for Wizards with a sprained ankle

Top draft pick AJ Dybantsa will miss the season opener for the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night with a sprained ankle

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

AJ Dybantsa - Will not debut Wednesday Dybantsa (ankle) will not debut Wednesday against the Bucks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dybantsa remained limited at Tuesday's practice and is still considered day-to-day after picking up the sprain during the final preseason game Friday. It sounds like the Wizards are being extra cautious with the No. 1 overall pick. In the meantime, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley could see additional minutes.

AJ Dybantsa - Remains day-to-day Dybantsa (ankle) participated in shooting drills during Monday's practice but remains day-to-day, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.

Impact Coach Brian Keefe confirmed that the rookie was able to get some shooting work in, though it's unclear whether he's ready to resume full-contact activities. Dybantsa's availability for Washington's regular-season opener remains uncertain, and his participation in upcoming practices should provide a better indication of his readiness.

AJ Dybantsa - Considered day-to-day Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Dybantsa is day-to-day with an ankle sprain, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Dybantsa exited Friday's preseason finale with the ankle injury and did not return. The rookie No. 1 overall pick can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks until the Wizards provide an update on his status. If he's forced to miss time, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Reece Beekman - Lands two-way pact Beekman had his Exhibit 10 contract converted to a two-way deal by the Wizards on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Beekman signed with the Wizards for training camp and has done enough to earn himself a two-way contract. He last played in the NBA in the 2024-25 season and will likely spend most of his time with the G League's Capital City Go-Go in 2026-27.

Alex Sarr - Sniffs double-double in loss Sarr tallied 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 26 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Sarr grabbed nine rebounds for the second straight game and scored a preseason-high 12 points. The third-year big man has shared frontcourt minutes with Anthony Davis this preseason. His rebounding and rim protection should give Washington an imposing pairing up front for the Wizards.

Kyshawn George - Ends preseason with diverse line George logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks over 27 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.

Impact George put together another efficient night, making five of his seven shots while chipping in on the defensive end. His preseason numbers make a strong case for a full-time starting role for him when the regular season begins.
