Rui Hachimura - Exits with ankle injury Hachiumura won't return to Monday's game against the Pistons after suffering a right ankle sprain, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Hachimura suffered the injury in the first half and was spotted making his way to the locker room immediately after. Deni Avdija and Thomas Bryant are candidates to see more run in Hachimura's place.

Kristaps Porzingis - May return before All-Star break Coach Wes Unseld said Monday that he hopes Porzingis (knee) will be able to make his Wizards debut before the All-Star break, but he remains day-to-day with a right knee bone bruis...
Impact Porzingis has already been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Pistons, which will be his second straight game missed as a member of the Wizards and his seventh consecutive missed contest overall. After Monday, Washington has two more remaining games before the All-Star break, but even if he is available, Porzingis will likely be limited during his first action since Jan. 29.

Daniel Gafford - Remains out Monday Gafford (conditioning) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Gafford has cleared the COVID-19 health and safety protocols but will miss his fourth straight game as he continues to improve his conditioning. The 23-year-old figures to have a reduced role once cleared to play given the acquisition of Kristaps Porzingis (knee) ahead Thursday's trade deadline.

Kristaps Porzingis - Won't debut Monday Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with Detroit.
Impact Porzingis will miss his second straight game as a member of the Wizards and his seventh consecutive overall. His next chance to make his debut for Washington will be Wednesday against the Pacers, but at this point it wouldn't be a surprise if the team waits to bring him back until after the All-Star break.

Rui Hachimura - Goes for 13 off bench Hachimura accumulated 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three steals across 22 minutes during Saturday's 123-110 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Hachimura missed the first few months of the season but has been ramping up his activity of late and is gaining a bigger role, playing more than 20 minutes in each of his last four appearances. The fact that he's scored in double digits in each of his last three contests suggests his fantasy upside will only grow if he keeps seeing more minutes with the second unit.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Another strong performance Kuzma finished Saturday's 123-110 loss to the Kings with 22 points (7-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact Kuzma couldn't repeat what he accomplished against the Nets when he posted his first career triple-double, but he ended just two boards and three dimes away from reaching that tally for the second game in a row. He's getting more comfortable on offense and has embraced the bigger role with Bradley Beal (wrist) set to miss the rest of the season. Kuzma is averaging 18.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 10 appearances.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Comes up big in 36 minutes Kispert tallied 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and three rebounds across 36 minutes Saturday in the Wizards' 123-110 loss to the Kings.
Impact Though Washington selected Kispert with the No. 15 overall pick in July's draft mainly on the basis on his perimeter shooting, he showed off some passing skills Saturday while picking up his second straight start. Don't expect Kispert to remain a consistent contributor in the assist column, but his production is undoubtedly headed on an upward trajectory following Bradley Beal's season-ending wrist injury coupled with the trade-deadline deal that sent Spencer Dinwiddie to Dallas. Though Raul Neto and Ish Smith will most likely split playing time at point guard, Kispert looks like he'll have a clear path to a regular 30-plus-minute role at shooting guard and should have free reign to put up shots. Until Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is cleared to make his Wizards debut, Washington won't have many established scoring options beyond Kyle Kuzma.

Kristaps Porzingis - Sitting due to knee injury Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out Saturday against the Kings, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porzingis revealed earlier Saturday that he wouldn't make his team debut against Sacramento. Coach Wes Unseld said later in the day that the 26-year-old has passed his physical, and his absence Saturday is due to the bone bruise in his left knee.

Kristaps Porzingis - Won't debut Saturday Porzingis (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Kings, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Porzingis was traded from the Mavericks to the Wizards on Thursday but isn't yet ready to make his team debut. He said Saturday that his physical is still pending, and he wants to play it safe with his knee injury that forced him to miss his last six games with Dallas. Thomas Bryant and Vernon Carey should see increased run Saturday.

Daniel Gafford - Won't play Saturday Gafford (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Sacramento.
Impact Gafford was initially removed from the injury report for Saturday's matchup, but he'll ultimately be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to the league's health and safety protocols. Once he's able to return, it's not clear how much usage he'll see since the Wizards acquired several frontcourt options ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
