Ruled out Thursday Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out of Thursday's game at Milwaukee.
Impact Kuzma was already considered doubtful as he continues to deal with tendinitis in his right knee, and the Wizards have now taken the next step of ruling him out well in advance of Thursday's tip. The game falls on the front end of a back-to-back, so Kuzma could be at risk of missing Friday's game at Detroit, as well.

Unlikely to play Thursday Wizards head coach Wes Unseld said he is "doubtful" that Kuzma (knee) will be able to play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Kuzma has missed back-to-back games after being a late scratch ahead of Saturday's win over the Lakers due to right knee tendinitis. Unseld relayed that Kuzma was a partial participant during Wednesday's practice and is technically questionable for Thursday, though the coach's comments suggest he's unlikely to suit up.

Ruled out Saturday Kuzma won't play in Saturday's game against the Lakers due to right knee tendinitis, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Kuzma wasn't included on Detroit's initial injury report, but he won't be available Saturday against Los Angeles due to the knee issue. As a result, Rui Hachimura will draw the start at power forward in his place. Kuzma's next chance to return will come Monday against the Rockets.

Hands out nine dimes in loss Kuzma chipped in 18 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, nine assists and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 100-97 loss to the Knicks.
Impact Kuzma continues to flash his facilitation skills, racking up nine assists in the loss. With the team certainly not loaded when it comes to productive point guards, Kuzma has been able to take on more of a ball-handling role, averaging 5.7 assists over the past month. Outside of a drop in rebounding numbers, Kuzma has been able to maintain his form despite the arrival of Kristaps Porzingis. Barring injury, he should be a solid asset for the rest of the season.

Paces offensive attack Kuzma finished with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-9 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 32 minutes Friday in the Wizards' 122-109 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Facing off against his former team for the first time, Kuzma cleared the 20-point barrier for the sixth time in seven games, but an awful night from the free-throw line lessened the appeal of his line in season-long category leagues. Even so, Kuzma has remained an exceptional value in both points and categories leagues, as he surprisingly emerged as the Wizards' unquestioned No. 2 option behind Bradley Beal (wrist) earlier in the campaign, only to move into an even larger role after Beal was shut down for good in late January. The Wizards have since reintegrated trade-deadline pickup Kristaps Porzingis into the mix, but Kuzma's usage has taken only a minor hit in his first three games alongside Porzingis.
