Downgraded to out Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup in Golden State.

Impact Despite participating in shootaround, Kuzma will miss a fourth straight game due a left ankle sprain. His next chance to suit up will come in the second half of Washington's back-to-back set Tuesday in Portland. Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija have both drawn starts during Kuzma's absence and should continue to see increased roles versus the Warriors.

Present for shootaround, deemed GTD Kuzma (ankle) participated in the Wizards' shootaround but is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Warriors, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Kuzma has missed the last three games due to his ankle injury, but he'll be in the mix to return to the court Monday. Even if he's unavailable against Golden State, he'll have two more chances to suit up before the All-Star break. If Kuzma sits out against the Warriors, Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija will likely draw another start.

Questionable at Golden State Kuzma (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game at Golden State.

Impact The Wizards continue to handle Kuzma's status on a game-by-game basis as the All-Star break approaches. If he sits for the fourth straight game Monday, Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija would be in line for another start on the wing. The Wizards play three games this week before heading into the break.

Ruled out Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Kuzma was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice session and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game due to the left ankle injury that he sustained Saturday against the Nets.

Iffy for Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday and will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus Charlotte, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact While Kuzma wasn't able to go through drills with his healthy teammates at Tuesday's practice, he's expected to go through some individual work. That said, the fact that Kuzma isn't a full participant in Tuesday's session isn't a good sign with regard to his status for Wednesday's game. If Kuzma is forced to spend another game on the sideline, Deni Avdija or Corey Kispert will likely draw another start, and the Wizards could have more minutes available off the bench for Anthony Gill.

Won't play Monday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Cavaliers.

The severity of the sprain isn't known yet, but his next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Hornets. Anthony Gill (COVID-19 protocols) remains sidelined, so Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert will presumably see increased minutes in Kuzma's absence, while Will Barton, who's played sparingly since the since the end of December, may get another chance in the rotation.
