Washington Wizards News and Rumors - NBA

Tristan Vukcevic - Game-time call for Tuesday Vukcevic (hand) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Vukcevic is in danger of missing a second straight matchup after suffering a right hand injury Friday against Indiana. The Wizards should have a better idea of his status for Tuesday closer to game time. Anthony Gill started in Vukcevic's place Sunday and would likely be in line for another opportunity if Vukcevic can't go.

Justin Champagnie - Questionable for Tuesday Champagnie (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Champagnie missed Sunday's contest and two of the past three games due to right knee tendinopathy and is now iffy to play in Atlanta. If he's ruled out, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins are strong candidates to absorb minutes at forward.

Sharife Cooper - Hanging onto consistent role Cooper ended Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Hornets with nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes.

Impact Although he mostly played for the G League's Capital City Go-Go during the first half of the campaign, Cooper is carving out a solid role for the parent club. Over his last seven appearances, Cooper has averaged 12.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per game.

Bub Carrington - Getting steady starts Carrington accumulated six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Despite Sunday's dud, Carrington should remain Washington's top point guard until Trae Young (knee, quadriceps) is ready to make his team debut. Carrington has started 10 appearances in a row, averaging 10.4 points, 4.2 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 24.7 minutes per game.

Jaden Hardy - Drops 16 points in loss Hardy recorded 16 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Hardy has scored in double figures and knocked down at least three triples in all three games for the Wizards since being acquired at the deadline. The 23-year-old guard's playing time could vary game to game as Washington's rotations have been difficult to predict in recent weeks.

Will Riley - Sees 31 minutes Sunday Riley finished Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact After logging just 12 and four minutes in his previous two outings, Riley cracked the 30-minute mark for the third time this season and delivered a decent all-around performance. The rookie forward has flashed legitimate upside when given extended run. In 10 games with at least 25 minutes, Riley is averaging 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals, although it remains difficult to trust any player in the Wizards rotation right now.

Bilal Coulibaly - Adds 17 points in loss Coulibaly finished with 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 17 minutes during Sunday's 129-112 loss to Charlotte.

Impact Coulibaly led the Wizards in scoring Sunday despite playing limited minutes, recording his third-highest point total of the season and matching a season high with three made triples. The 21-year-old forward has played more than 30 minutes only twice over his last 15 games, averaging 10.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks in 25 minutes per contest in that span.

Anthony Gill - Starting Sunday Gill will start Sunday versus the Hornets.

Impact This will be Gill's first start of the season and he'll be joined in the first unit by Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George. Gill could be looking at major minutes Sunday as the tallest player available to man the five-spot, so he's on the radar in daily fantasy leagues.

Kyshawn George - Available Sunday George (toe) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact George missed the second game of a back-to-back set Friday due to a toe injury, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. Over his last five appearances, George holds averages of 10.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Justin Champagnie - Won't play Sunday Champagnie (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact With Champagnie unavailable, Alondes Williams and Jamir Watkins could see an uptick in minutes. For now, Champagnie should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

Tristan Vukcevic - Not playing Sunday Vukcevic (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Vukcevic injured his right hand during the Wizards' 131-118 loss to the Hornets, which is severe enough for him to miss Sunday's contest. Alex Sarr (hamstring) is also sidelined, so Anthony Gill figures to serve as the Wizards' starting center. Vukcevic's next chance to play is Tuesday against the Hawks.
