  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Continues to struggle in loss

    Coulibaly ended with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers.

    Following a promising start to the season, Coulibaly is beginning to struggle a bit lately. Over his last eight games, Coulibaly is averaging 9.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting just 39.1 percent from the field. The 20-year-old former No. 7 overall pick is still playing a prominent role in Washington's rotation, however, averaging 35.5 minutes per game during this time. Despite the current cold spell, his disruptive defense and ability to contribute across the board should help him maintain significant minutes for the Wizards moving forward.

    Coulibaly finished Sunday's 115-103 loss to the Pacers with 17 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes.

    This was a terrific showing for Coulibaly, as his breakout season continues. With 14 regular-season games under his belt, he's averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers. His ability to contribute to every category has made him a valuable fantasy asset.

    Coulibaly missed Monday's loss to the Knicks with a head injury, though he will return to game action and is expected to shoulder his normal workload Friday. In his last five outings, the 20-year-old forward has averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 57.8 percent from the floor across 34.8 minutes per game.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Good to go against Boston

    Coulibaly (head) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Celtics.

    Coulibaly will return to action Friday after missing Washington's previous outing with a head injury. The second-year forward is averaging 14.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Returns to practice

    Coulibaly (head) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Monday

    Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Coulibaly will miss his first game of the season due to a head injury he sustained after taking an elbow to the mouth during Sunday's loss to the Pistons. While the second-year wing is sidelined, the good news is he appears to have avoided a concussion and will have multiple days to rest and recover before attempting to suit up Friday versus Boston. In Coulibaly's absence, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Malcolm Brogdon are candidates for increased roles, while Jared Butler and Johnny Davis could enter the rotation as well.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Chance to play Monday

    Coulibaly is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a head injury.

    Coulibaly left Sunday's loss to the Pistons early after taking an elbow to the mouth, so it's not surprising to see him on the injury report for Monday. However, the second-year wing appears to have avoided a concussion and will have a chance to suit up Monday. If Coulibaly doesn't play, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Malcolm Brogdon would be candidates for increased roles.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Leaves early with facial injury

    Coulibality left Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Pistons early after taking an elbow to the mouth and didn't return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Coulibaly exited in the fourth quarter, and head coach Brian Keefe said postgame that the second-year wing was just being checked as a precaution after taking an elbow to the face. He finished Sunday's contest with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes. Though Coulibaly wasn't able to return to the game, his status for Monday's game against the Knicks doesn't look to be in major jeopardy.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Goes back to locker room

    Coulibaly (knee) went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

    Coulibaly appears to be dealing with a knee injury as he was spotted with tape on his right knee while heading into the locker room, per Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network. Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George are candidates to see more minutes for the rest of Sunday's game if Coulibaly doesn't return.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Notches 20 points

    Coulibaly ended with 20 points (9-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists, three blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic.

    The Wizards dropped to 2-6 on the season, but Coulibaly continues to be a bright spot with this being his fourth game of the campaign with at least 20 points. He's averaging 17.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers per game.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Team-leading 22 points Saturday

    Coulibaly racked up 22 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 118-98 loss to the Heat.

    Coulibaly and Jordan Poole were the only Wizards players Saturday to reach the 20-point mark in a game that saw Washington shoot 41.8 percent from the field, including 7-for-35 from three-point range. Coulibaly averaged 8.4 points per game during the 2023-24 regular season, but he's scored 20-plus points in three of his last four outings. He's started the 2024-25 campaign averaging 19.4 points on 60.7 percent shooting (including 47.6 percent from three on 4.2 3PA/G), 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals over 34.0 minutes per game.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Career-high 27 points vs. Hawks

    Coulibaly accumulated 27 points (11-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three steals and one block over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 win over Atlanta.

    Just two days after scoring a then career-best 23 points, Coulibaly surpassed that total with 27 points on just 14 field-goal attempts during Wednesday's win. The 2023 first-round pick began his rookie season on the bench, but he steadily saw his role increase and has continued to see more playing time and responsibilities early on in his sophomore year. Through the first four games of the 2024-25 regular season, Coulibaly is averaging 18.8 points on 59.1 percent shooting, 5.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 34.0 minutes per contest.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Team option picked up

    The Wizards exercised the 2025-26 team option on Coulibaly's contract Tuesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    After a modest rookie season, Coulibaly is seeing an expanded role to start Year 2. Through three games, he's averaged 16.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals while posting 50/36/81 shooting splits. With the transaction, Coulibaly is under contract through the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Pops for 23 points in loss

    Coulibaly had 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 35 minutes during Saturday's 135-116 loss to the Cavaliers.

    While Coulibaly scored only eight points on six shots in the season-opening loss to Boston, the second-year wing made his presence felt elsewhere. He grabbed six boards, dished out six assists and recorded a steal in 30 minutes. Coulibaly didn't have as good of a well-rounded game versus Cleveland, but he found his stroke from deep and was more assertive offensively, tying Kyle Kuzma with a team-high 16 shot attempts. This is an encouraging start for Coulibaly in fantasy, especially considering Washington's first two opponents are considered some of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Good to go Thursday

    Coulibaly (finger) will play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Coulibaly missed Friday's preseason finale due to a sprained left index finger, but it sounds like his absence was mostly a precaution. There's no word of any restrictions heading into Opening Night. Coulibaly averaged 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 63 regular-season games last season, and he could be ready for a larger role in his second campaign, as he was a regular starter at shooting guard during the preseason.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Not playing in preseason finale

    Coulibaly (finger) is out for Friday's preseason game against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

    Coulibaly is dealing with a sprained left index finger, and it remains to be seen if the injury will allow him to be available for the regular-season opener against the Celtics next Thursday. If that's not the case, then Corey Kispert (back) and rookie Carlton Carrington would figure to see an uptick in playing time.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Ruled out Monday

    Coulibaly (finger) has been ruled out of Monday's preseason game versus the Nets.

  • Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Starts in first preseason game

    Coulibaly posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors.

    With Malcolm Brogdon (hand) unavailable, Coulibaly drew the start at shooting guard over Corey Kispert. Coulibaly's rookie season was a mixed bag, but he showed promise. Given the Wizards aren't expected to compete for a playoff spot this season, Coulibaly should get plenty of developmental minutes even if he struggles out of the gate in Year 2.
