Corey Kispert News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Late scratch Sunday Kispert (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Kispert was a late addition to Sunday's injury report due to his non-COVID illness, and the Wizards ruled him out after the scheduled tipoff time for the game. His next chance to suit up will be Tuesday against the Warriors.

Impressive off bench once again Kispert registered 20 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 147-106 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Kispert is not expected to move to a starting role any time soon since the Wizards are giving minutes to the likes of Deni Avdija and Bilal Coulibaly on the wing. However, Kispert continues to find ways to produce, and he has been a reliable scorer off the bench in recent weeks for a reeling Washington team. Kispert has scored in double digits in eight of his last 10 bench appearances, a span in which he's averaging 16.6 points per game while shooting 37.7 percent from beyond the arc.

Hits for 20 off bench Kispert logged 20 points (7-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal across 32 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 133-126 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact It's the fourth time in the last seven games Kispert has scored at least 20 points from the second unit, although he'd managed only 10 points total in the prior two contests coming into Wednesday. The third-year forward is still averaging 16.9 points, 4.1 boards, 2.9 threes and 2.7 assists over that stretch in 27.6 minutes a game, and he could be emerging as the Wizards' most consistent bench player.

Big night off bench Wednesday Kispert contributed 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Just two games after setting a season high with 26 points, Kispert came within a three-pointer of matching that output. The 2021 first-round pick has dropped at least 15 points in four straight games, taking advantage of the extra work he's picking up with Marvin Bagley (back) on the shelf. Over that four-game stretch, Kispert's averaging 20.0 points, 3.8 boards, 3.3 threes and 2.3 assists while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Impact Kispert didn't do much outside of scoring Wednesday, but that's his main role off the bench, and his fantasy upside lives and dies based on what he does as a shooter. Over his last 10 games, Kispert is averaging 9.8 points per game while shooting 33.3 percent from three-point range.

Notches nine points Kispert ended with nine points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Monday's 146-101 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact After a hot start to the month, Kispert has cooled off in his last two outings. Through four December games, he's averaging a solid 11.8 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.5 three-pointers in 22.8 minutes per contest. However, his lack of defense continues to hold him back in nine-category leagues with a total of one block and one steal in that span.

Added to starting lineup Kispert will start against the Hawks on Saturday.

Drains six triples Friday Kispert racked up 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Friday's 131-128 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Though Kispert came off the bench (as he has throughout the campaign), his 33 minutes were second-most on Washington. The 24-year-old certainly justified the hefty playing time by hitting the 20-point mark for the second time this season on the strength of an impressive 6-for-10 shooting performance from deep. Kispert's playing time and production have varied too much for him to be a reliable fantasy asset, but he's established some value in deep leagues as a three-point specialist with 2.0 triples per contest on 38.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Managers should be aware, however, that Kispert has yet to show an ability to produce in other categories over his NBA career thus far.
