COREY KISPERT NEWS

Rehab going well Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Tuesday that Kispert's (ankle) recovery is going well and appears to be ahead of schedule, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kispert was originally expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks after spraining his ankle Oct. 2. While it is not guaranteed that he will beat his original timeline, it appears that the shorter end of his recovery timeline is likely. When Kispert does return, he will likely be competing with Deni Avdija and Will Barton for minutes in the forward rotation.

The Washington Wizards say Corey Kispert is expected to miss four to six weeks because of a sprained left ankle

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Out 4-to-6 weeks Kispert will miss approximately four to six weeks after spraining his left ankle during Sunday's preseason contest against the Warriors.

Impact Kispert will miss at least the first few weeks of the regular season due to the ankle sprain. This is a tough blow for the second-year guard, who finished his rookie season posting 11.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists over the final 29 games of his rookie campaign. In his absence, rookie first-round pick Johnny Davis could garner an increased reserve role to start the 2022-23 campaign.

Ignites victory Kispert provided 25 points (9-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and three assists across 41 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Kispert poured in a career-high 25 points across a whopping 41 minutes -- joining Bradley Beal and Jordan Crawford as the only rookies in franchise history with 25-plus points and five-plus threes in a contest. His scoring output is maddeningly inconsistent, but Kispert is shooting 40.9 percent from beyond the arc over his last 15 games.

Accurate shooting in loss Kispert provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Monday's 115-97 loss to Houston.

Impact Although increased shot volume would aid his fantasy impact, Kispert connects often from all over the court. Over 18 games as a starter, Kispert has a field-goal conversion rate of 47 percent. He's also averaged 6.2 three-point attempts per game and drained them at a 38.4 percent clip over the same span.

Scores 14 points in Friday's loss Kispert amassed 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 100-97 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Kispert continues to start for the Wizards, scoring in double figures for the fourth time in his past five appearances. Unfortunately, that's where the good news ends for the rookie due to his inability to put up meaningful production anywhere else. He appears locked in as a starter, so while he is certainly not on the 12-team radar, managers in deeper formats can consider him as a streamer for both points and triples.

Catches fire from downtown Kispert registered 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-11 3Pt) and two rebounds in 34 minutes Friday in the Wizards' 122-109 loss to the Lakers.

Impact With at least three triples in four of his first five games in March, Kispert is doing exactly what the Wizards expected from him when they selected him with the 15th overall pick in July's draft. That being said, his contributions have been largely limited to the three-pointers category, as he's supplementing his scoring with meager averages of 2.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks thus far in March. Kispert should be locked into a sizable role the rest of the way with Bradley Beal (wrist) done for the season, but the rookie is still probably best viewed as a streamer for three-pointers and little else in 12-team leagues and shallower.

MARCH 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Solid production in win Kispert totaled 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over Detroit.

Impact Kispert dished out at least five assists for just the second time this season and registered at least one steal and one block for a third consecutive game. The rookie has made eight consecutive starts and has averaged 10.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 32.9 minutes during that stretch. He'll look to keep up his solid play Friday against the Hawks.
