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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

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

Impact 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.

Not playing in preseason finale Coulibaly (finger) is out for Friday's preseason game against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

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

Impact Coulibaly is dealing with a left finger sprain, though he is not likely to miss time during the regular season. The 20-year-old's last chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against the Knicks.
