Kyshawn George accumulated 15 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.George entered Thursday's game in a slump, having shot 8-of-28 from the field over the previous three games. He got back on track against the Celtics, but it wasn't enough to help Washington avoid a 45-point defeat. The recent slump dropped his fantasy value just outside the top-100, but the second-year wing should be fine. He remains someone who has to be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and George will be more valuable later in the season.
The Athletic's Josh Robbins reports that Bilal Coulibaly "is likely to miss multiple weeks" with an oblique injury.It's a brutal blow for the Wizards, since Coulibaly is their top perimeter defender. Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will see more minutes, but it will likely just mean more usage for guys like Kyshawn George and CJ McCollum.
Kyshawn George (toe) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.George is good to go after initially being considered questionable. He'll take on his usual role as the starting small forward. With the Wizards being down multiple wings, Cam Whitmore is still in line for a boost to his usage on Tuesday.
CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Marvin Bagley will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers.With Kyshawn George being cleared to play, there's just one change to the Wizards' starting lineup. Khris Middleton (rest) is out and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Champagnie. Cam Whitmore should also get more time off the bench, but Champagnie's ceiling is raised due to the opportunity to start.
