GAME LOG

Corey Kispert - Available to play Kispert (back) will be available to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kispert missed Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks due to lower back stiffness, though it was likely a precaution. Fresh off a four-year, $54 million extension, Kispert is expected to be a key contributor for the Wizards during the 2024-25 season.

Bilal Coulibaly - Good to go Thursday Coulibaly (finger) will play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coulibaly missed Friday's preseason finale due to a sprained left index finger, but it sounds like his absence was mostly a precaution. There's no word of any restrictions heading into Opening Night. Coulibaly averaged 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 63 regular-season games last season, and he could be ready for a larger role in his second campaign.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Sarr - Cleared to play Thursday Sarr (calf) has been cleared to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Sarr missed Washington's final two preseason games with soreness in his calf, but he said Monday that he's feeling great. With a couple more days to go, there's no reason to anticipate any restrictions for Opening Night.
OCTOBER 22 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Butler - Back with Washington Butler agreed to a two-way contract with the Wizards on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Butler had been signed to a standard NBA contract when Washington waived him over the weekend, but the Wizards will bring him back to fill one of their three two-way slots ahead of Thursday's season opener versus the Celtics. He appeared in 40 games for the Wizards in 2023-24, averaging 6.3 points, 3.2 assists and 1.5 rebounds across 14.2 minutes per game.

Washington Wizards sign Corey Kispert to a 4-year, $54 million extension

Corey Kispert and the Washington Wizards have agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $54 million
OCTOBER 21 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Corey Kispert - Inks four-year extension Kispert (back) and the Wizards agreed to a four-year, $54 million extension Monday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Impact Kispert has shown improvements in each of his first three seasons in the NBA and is now under a very team-friendly deal for the foreseeable future. He has been a part-time starter to begin his career and is competing with second-year wing Bilal Coulibaly for a starting spot in Washington's backcourt this season. Kispert dealt with minor back stiffness to end the preseason, but he's expected to be fine for the regular season.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Sarr - Hopeful for Opening Night Sarr (calf) said Monday that he's hopeful to play Thursday against the Celtics for Opening Night, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Sarr added that his calf feels great and that he's trending in the right direction. The Wizards diagnosed him with calf soreness which was why he was held out of their final two preseason contests, but it sounds like the team was mostly erring on the side of caution.

Alex Sarr - Status for opener in question Sarr's calf soreness is not considered serious, but the Wizards have not confirmed his availability for Thursday's regular season opening matchup with the Celtics, Josh Robbins of...
Impact Sarr, the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft, struggled with his shooting efficiency during the preseason, but he did show flashes of contributions across the board. He missed the Wizards' final two exhibition contests due to calf soreness, and it sounds like Washington could err on the side of caution with the rookie when the regular season tips off. Should he ultimately miss any time, Patrick Baldwin would be a candidate to see increased minutes at power forward. More clarity on Sarr's status figures to come when the Wizards release their first injury report.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Another subpar shooting effort Kuzma delivered 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 17 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.
Impact Kuzma was one of two starters who scored in double digits Friday, with Jordan Poole being the other, and that will probably be the case in the regular season as well, with both players leading the team in scoring on a regular basis. Kuzma's shooting numbers in the preseason have been poor, but he's likely most of his fantasy production based on volume rather than efficiency. Shooting woes aside, he should be one of the few consistent fantasy options in a subpar Wizards roster that figures to finish near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings once again.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Johnny Davis - Efficient off bench Friday Davis recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.
Impact Davis made his presence felt off the bench and was one of the Wizards' most efficient players in this win while also hitting the game-winning shot with only 6.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter. That said, Davis' heroics in the final preseason tune-up won't change his status in the rotation, and he's expected to either play a minimal role off the bench or start the campaign in the G League with the Capital City Go-Go.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Leads Wizards in scoring Poole finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), a rebound and five assists across 18 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.
Impact Poole was one of five players who scored in double digits for the Wizards in this preseason finale, though perhaps the most impressive tidbit out of this outing is that he only needed 18 minutes to do so. Poole figures to operate as one of the Wizards' primary options on offense in 2024-25, another year in which the franchise will operate under a rebuilding status.
OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE
RayJ Dennis - Joins Wizards on two-way deal Dennis agreed to a two-way contract with the Wizards on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact After going undrafted out of Baylor in June, Dennis connected with the Clippers for the Las Vegas Summer League and then signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the club prior to training camp. He failed to make the cut and was expected to begin his career in the G League with the San Diego Clippers, but Washington instead swooped in and offered the 6-foot-2 guard one of its three two-way spots. Dennis will be eligible to move between the NBA and the G League but is still likely to see the bulk of his minutes in 2024-25 with the Capital City Go-Go.
