Over five games since returning from a rib injury, the star forward has averaged 13.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 threes in 23.8 minutes.

Iffy for Wednesday Kuzma (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Kuzma didn't play in the second half of Tuesday's blowout loss to the Rockets due to a right calf contusion and may be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. Carlton Carrington (back) and Alexandre Sarr (illness) are also questionable, while Marvin Bagley (knee), Malcolm Brogdon (foot) and Jordan Poole (hip) have all been ruled out already.

Supplies 14 in Friday's start Kuzma finished with 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 132-120 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Making his first start since Nov. 27 and seeing his biggest workload in three games since returning from a rib issue, Kuzma provided modest production. The 29-year-old forward's numbers on the season are well off his usual pace, which has suppressed his trade value, but Kuzma still has time to to build a case that he can help a contender prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

Back in starting lineup Kuzma is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact The Wizards will be without Bilal Coulibaly (illness), so Kuzma will return to the starting lineup for the first time since returning to action after a 12-game absence due to a rib injury. Kuzma's previous start came on Nov. 27 in a loss to the Clippers. He's averaging 15.8 points per game in a starting role in 2024-25.

Coming off bench again Kuzma is not part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago.

Impact Kuzma played 21 minutes off the bench Monday in his return from a 12-game absence and will remain out of the starting lineup Wednesday. Kuzma shouldn't be expected to see a much larger workload against the Bulls, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the power forward push for 25 minutes. Justin Champagnie remains in the starting five.

Quiet in return Monday Kuzma racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Monday's 126-106 loss to New York.

Impact Kuzma returned from a 12-game absence, coming off the bench as a way of easing him back into the rotation. Despite the layoff, Kuzma delivered a typical performance, focusing on scoring while struggling to deliver in the peripheral categories. Assuming he can stay healthy, he should be back in the starting lineup sooner rather than later.

Returning in reserve role Kuzma is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Knicks on Monday.

Impact Kuzma has missed the last 12 games due to a sprained rib cartilage, so it's no surprise that the Wizards will bring on the veteran forward slowly in his return. Justin Champagnie will remain in the Wizards' starting five.

Expected to play on Monday Kuzma (ribs) is expected to be on the floor for the Wizards on Monday, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.

Impact All signs point to Kuzma returning to the Wizards' lineup tonight when they take on the Knicks. Kuzma missed the last 12 games while dealing with the injury to his ribs and should give Washington a big boost offensively. He's averaged 15.8 points per game while playing only 12 games this season for Washington.

Past rib injury Kuzma (ribs) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Kuzma has been out of action for the Wizards' last 12 games due to a sprained rib cartilage, but his absence from Sunday's injury report indicates that he will be available to play against the Knicks on Monday. In the 11 games prior to suffering the injury in late November, Kuzma had averaged 17.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 29.2 minutes per contest.
