Still out Sunday Kuzma (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raptors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kuzma has been ruled out for a fourth straight contest after sustaining a sprained right ankle about a week ago. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill should continue to see extended action with Kuzma on the sidelines. With Bradley Beal (knee) also out, Kristaps Porzingis should see a significant bump in usage. Kuzma's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Boston.

Remains sidelined Friday Kuzma (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Spurs.
Impact Kuzma will miss his third straight game Friday due to a right ankle sprain. Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija have seen expanded roles in his absence. Kuzma's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Toronto.
MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Kuzma will miss both halves of Washington's current back-to-back set due to an ankle sprain described as "pretty significant." In his absence, Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are candidates for increased roles, but the Wizards will likely rely heavily on Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Spurs, though he can likely be considered questionable, at best, for that contest.

Wizards take on the Nuggets on 3-game skid
Washington aims to break its three-game losing streak when the Washington Wizards play DenverMARCH 22, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dealing with significant sprain Wizards' coach Wes Unseld said that Kuzma, who will miss Tuesday's game, is dealing with a "pretty significant [ankle] sprain," Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Unseld added that he was "shocked" that Kuzma could play through the ankle sprain Saturday, so it sounds like there's been a lot of swelling, which could turn into a multi-game absence. Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill will likely pick up the slack while he's out, and it should be Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis doing the heavy lifting on offense. For now, Kuzma should be considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Downgraded to out Kuzma (ankle) is out for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
Impact With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Kuzma scored 33 points (12-23 FG) during Saturday's loss to the Kings, but it appears he sprained his right ankle during the contest as well. Porzingis is cleared to return Tuesday, so he'll presumably take Kuzma's spot in the starting lineup, with Corey Kispert slotting in at small forward again. Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Johnny Davis are also candidates for a few extra minutes with Kuzma unavailable. Given the matchup in Orlando is the first half of a back-to-back, Kuzma can likely be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's home tilt versus Denver.
MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable with ankle issue Kuzma is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Magic due to an ankle issue, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) out, Kuzma popped for 33 points (12-23 FG) during Saturday's loss to the Kings, but he appears to have picked up an ankle issue as well. If Kuzma is forced to the sidelines, Deni Avdija, Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert would be candidates for increased run, but Porzingis and Bradley Beal would still be Washington's go-to playmakers versus Orlando.
MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Goes off for 33 points in loss Kuzma contributed 33 points (12-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Saturday's 132-118 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Kuzma led the Wizards in scoring and surpassed the 30-point mark for the first time since the All-Star break. He's averaging 20.4 points per game across eight March appearances.

Quiet in return to lineup Kuzma notched seven points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 117-94 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Kuzma returned from a one-game absence due to some knee trouble but couldn't get much going offensively. The Wizards are sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference and will need Kuzma to find his form quickly if they want to sneak into the postseason. Over his last three contests, Kuzma is averaging 12.0 points on 42 percent shooting.
MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Not on injury report Kuzma (knee) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Kuzma partially participated in Thursday's practice session and has been cleared to return to game action following a one-game absence. He's posted double-doubles in two of his last three appearances and is unlikely to face significant limitations against the Cavaliers.
MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
On track to return Friday Kuzma (knee) was a partial participant in Thursday's practice but will likely be available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Kuzma missed Tuesday's game against Detroit due to a sore right knee but appears likely to return following a brief absence. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 19.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 35.0 minutes per game.

Wizards snap 3-game skid with 117-97 rout of Pistons
Bradley Beal scored 36 points, and the Washington Wizards snapped their three-game losing streak with a 117-97 victory over the Detroit PistonsMARCH 15, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sitting out Tuesday Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons.
Impact Kuzma has been downgraded from questionable to out due to right knee soreness and will miss his second contest since the All-Star break. In his absence, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Anthony Gill are all candidates for increased roles. Following Tuesday's contest, Washington doesn't resume action until Friday versus Cleveland, so Kuzma should have plenty of time to rest and rehab before the team needs to make a decision on his status for that contest.

Questionable Tuesday Kuzma is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to right knee soreness.
Impact Kuzma has posted double-doubles in two of his last three appearances, but he's dealing with a knee injury following Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. If he's unavailable Tuesday, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert will likely see increased run.

NBA style power rankings: Why Kyle Kuzma remains a fashion statement Kuzma's got an eclectic fashion sense, and it works well for him. He's just as popular off the court because of his clothing as he is on it.
MARCH 13, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Tallies double-double in loss Kuzma closed with 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 112-93 loss to Philadelphia.
Impact Kuzma hauled in a team-high rebound total while tallying a team-high-tying assist mark and notching a double-double performance in the starting lineup. Kuzma has recorded at least 10 points and 10 rebounds on 14 occasions this year, including in two of his last three outings. The forward did briefly leave Sunday's game with what appeared to be a hand injury, but he was able to return to action later in the second half. Don't be surprised if he pops up on the injury report with some soreness ahead of Tuesday's game against Detroit.
