Cleared to play Kuzma (quad) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Kuzma has been banged up recently, first dealing with a knee injury and now a quad issue, but he's yet to miss a game this season. Over his last two games, Kuzma has averaged just 12.0 points on 31.0 percent shooting, but on the season, he's averaging 23.0 points on 46.8 percent shooting, both career-high marks.

Dealing with quad bruise Kuzma is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right quadriceps contusion.

Impact Kuzma left last Friday's loss to Golden State early due to knee soreness but was back in action Tuesday, totaling 17 points, six assists, four rebounds and a block in 36 minutes. However, he emerged from that contest with a quad injury and may be sidelined for the second half of Washington's back-to-back set. If that's the case, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly and Anthony Gill would be candidates for increased minutes, but Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones would likely lead the Wizards' offense.

Available for Tuesday Kuzma (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against Orlando, Luke Askew of NBA.com reports.

Return imminent Kuzma (knee) expects to play Tuesday against Orlando, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kuzma was forced to exit Friday's loss to Golden State after 25 minutes of action due to right knee soreness. However, with three full days of rest until the Wizards' Tuesday night contest, Kuzma appears on track to heal without recording an absence.

Dealing with knee soreness Kuzma won't return to Friday's game against the Warriors due to right knee soreness.

Impact Before exiting, Kuzma corralled seven points (3-11 FG), 10 rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes. While he's sidelined, Corey Kispert, Bilal Coulibaly and Anthony Gill are candidates to see more minutes. His next chance to play will come Tuesday against Orlando.

Erupts for 32 in Portland Kuzma amassed 32 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-117 win over the Trail Blazers.

Impact The 28-year-old forward topped 30 points for the second time in the last four games, as Kuzma continues to be the focal point of the Wizards' offense. His usage rate (31.5 percent), assists per game (4.3) and field-goal attempt per game (19.2) are both career highs, and he's actually improved his efficiency as well with a career-best 47.2 percent shooting from the floor. The trade-off has been his production in other categories, as Kuzma's 6.1 boards a game would be his lowest mark in three seasons, and his 0.9 combined steals plus blocks his lowest since 2019-20.

Kyle Kuzma scored 32 points and the Washington Wizards held off the Portland Trail Blazers 118-117 on Thursday night for their fifth victory of the season

Sniffs double-double in loss Kuzma provided 27 points (8-16 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 143-131 loss to the Kings.

Impact The Wizards competed hard but fell short in the second game in a row, losing to the Suns on Sunday and the Kings on Monday. Kuzma has been a steady offensive contributor despite Washington's overall struggles, however, as he has cleared the 20-point plateau in four of his last five appearances while averaging a career-best 23.2 points per game this season.

Logs 17 despite shooting struggles Kuzma chipped in 17 points (7-22 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 112-108 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Kuzma attempted 13 shots beyond the arc and sunk only three of them, but he still managed a sufficient total. Kuzma is averaging 23.3 points per game this season, but he routinely posts totals well above or well below that benchmark, making his floor less dependable than one might expect. Despite the variance, the 28-year-old remains one of Washington's most productive performers.

Leading scorer in Wednesday's loss Kuzma closed Wednesday's 142-122 loss to the Pelicans with 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes.

Impact The 28-year-old continues to produce career-best numbers as the No. 1 option on a depleted Wizards' roster. Kuzma has scored more than 20 points in 10 of the last 14 games, averaging 23.0 points, 5.6 boards, 5.4 assists and 2.3 threes over that stretch. Unless Jordan Poole gets rolling though and gives defenses someone else to worry about, Kuzma likely won't be able to take his production to the next level.

Leading scorer in loss Kuzma notched 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 124-97 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Kuzma was one of four Wizards players to score in double-digits as the team struggled to score. He played a team-high 30 minutes despite the blowout loss and has now scored 15-plus points in five straight games. Kuzma came into Friday's game averaging career highs in points (23.2), shooting (47.3 percent) and assists (4.8).

Leads Wizards in scoring in loss Kuzma totaled 27 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 37 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 130-125 loss to Orlando.

Impact Kuzma extended his run of games with 20 or more points to three, while achieving that mark in six of his last seven outings. He opened the season as the expected co-leader on offense alongside Jordan Poole, but the latter's struggles have ascended Kuzma to becoming Washington's go-to player for scoring every time he steps on the court. Kuzma is averaging 23.2 points per game over his last five outings.
