Scoring success continues Kispert chipped in 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 32 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Kispert has now finished in double figures in four of his last five contests. He also put together his best rebounding game of the season Sunday, beating his previous best of four boards. Kispert has shown that he can contribute across the board at times, but he's failed to do so consistently to this point.

Starting Sunday Kispert is starting Sunday against Charlotte.

Solid night off bench Kispert contributed 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 107-106 overtime win over the Heat.

Impact Kispert turned in a double-digit scoring total off the bench for the first time this season, as he was held to just two points in 11 minutes Wednesday against the Thunder in a reserve role. He knocked down a season-best five triples on the way to victory Friday and also collected a pair of steals for the third time in eight games.

Moves to bench Wednesday Kispert isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Thunder, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kispert will move to the bench as Bradley Beal (conditioning) returns to the lineup. Kispert averaged 10.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals in 25.4 minutes in five games as a starter.

Season-high 18 points Kispert closed with 18 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-112 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Washington couldn't have asked for much more out of Kispert on Saturday as the guard went a perfect 6-of-6 from the field for a season-high 18 points. Kispert also went 4-of-4 from beyond the arc while playing a season-high 29 minutes in the contest. The 18 points were also a season-high, as were his four rebounds on the night.

Plays 24 minutes in start Kispert totaled six points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 103-97 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact With Bradley Beal landing in COVID-19 protocols, Kispert moved into the starting lineup and saw a slight bump in minutes relative to his season debut Friday against the Nets (18 minutes). The 2021 first-round pick missed the first two weeks of the regular season while recovering from an ankle injury, but he should be a stable piece in the rotation going forward. Once Beal is back, Kispert will likely operate off the bench, seeing action at both small forward and shooting guard. As a rookie, Kispert averaged 8.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 made threes with a 46/35/87 shooting line.

Will start Sunday Kispert will start Sunday against Memphis, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Bradley Beal will miss Sunday's game while in COVID-19 protocols, so Kispert will draw his first start of the campaign. The second-year wing scored two points (0-6 FG) in 18 minutes during his season debut Friday but figures to see an increased role against the Grizzlies.

Minutes restricted Friday Kispert's (ankle) minutes will be limited in his return to the floor Friday versus the Nets, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Kispert's minutes restriction isn't surprising, considering he hasn't played yet in the regular season. The second-year guard should be a bigger part of the plan once his conditioning is up to speed. It's unclear exactly how low his limit will be, but it's presumably below the 23.4 minutes per game he averaged last season.

Set to make season debut Friday Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Kispert (ankle) will be available for Friday's game versus the Nets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kispert has yet to play this season due to a left ankle sprain. The second-year player out of Gonzaga will likely have the chance to compete for a starting job with Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill, and Will Barton. At the very least, Kispert will aim to improve upon his 8.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 23.4 minutes across 77 games from his rookie year.

Sitting out Wednesday Kispert (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's game versus the 76ers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Wizards are still awaiting Kispert's season debut after his solid rookie campaign, and the staff will need to wait a little longer while he continues to work his way back. It's still unclear when that debut will come, though head coach Wes Unseld indicated last week that Kispert is getting close.

Impact Kispert will miss a sixth straight game to begin the season while he recovers from a left ankle sprain, but he could be ready to make his 2022-23 debut at some point during the upcoming week. He was a full participant in Thursday's practice, but the Wizards may want to see Kispert turn in another full workout or two before slotting him into the rotation.
