Khris Middleton - Will play Saturday Middleton (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Middleton took a seat for the first half of the team's back-to-back Friday due to right knee injury management, but he'll be back in action Saturday evening. The 34-year-old will try to shake out of a cold spell after averaging 8.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 21.4 minutes over his last five games.

Tristan Vukcevic - Out with knee soreness Vukcevic is out for Saturday's game against the Nuggets with left knee soreness.

Impact After missing Friday's loss in Sacramento, the third-year center is now sidelined for the second half of the Wizards' back-to-back. Marvin Bagley should have the backup role all to himself behind Alex Sarr, offering the former some deep-league streaming appeal Saturday.

Tre Johnson - Drains four treys in loss Johnson closed Friday's 128-115 loss to the Kings with 18 points (7-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 30 minutes.

Impact Making his 11th straight start, Johnson once again filled up the bucket from long range -- he's scored in double digits 10 times during that stretch, and drained multiple three-pointers nine times. Since moving into the starting five, the sixth overall pick in the 2025 Draft is averaging 14.7 points, 2.9 assists, 2.5 boards, 2.5 threes and 1.4 steals in 26.9 minutes while shooting 43.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Bub Carrington - Just misses double-double Friday Carrington recorded 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to the Kings.

Impact Making his second start in January, Carrington fell one dime short of his first double-double of the season. The second-year guard will likely return to the bench once Bilal Coulibaly (back) is ready to return, but Carrington's been seeing plenty of court time with the second unit as well. Over the last six contests, including both those recent starts, he's averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 assists, 4.0 boards and 2.0 threes in 34.0 minutes.

Alex Sarr - Hits for team-high 19 in loss Sarr totaled 19 points (8-12 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to the Kings.

Impact The second-year center led the Wizards in scoring on the night, although all five Washington starters scored in double digits. Sarr is still looking to find some consistency, and over 12 games since Christmas he's averaged 14.8 points, 5.8 boards, 2.6 blocks, 2.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.8 minutes a contest.
