Landry Shamet - Slowed by sore calf Shamet (calf) exited Sunday's game against the Heat with a sore left calf and won't return. He finished with zero points, one foul and no other statistics in seven minutes.
Impact The veteran guard missed Friday's win over the Hornets with the same injury and was cleared to play Sunday, but he seemingly tweaked the injury during his brief appearance off the bench. Shamet can be viewed as day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's game at Memphis, but given that he's dealing with an aggravation of a previous injury, it wouldn't be surprising if he missed some time.

Corey Kispert - Draws another start Kispert will start Sunday's game against the Heat.
Impact With Richaun Holmes (toe) and Marvin Bagley (back) out, the Wizards will go small with Kyle Kuzma at center, opening up a spot on the wing for Kispert. Across his previous three starts this season, Kispert has averaged 12.7 points, 3.0 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 26.7 minutes per game.

Richaun Holmes - Out Sunday Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.
Impact Coming off a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double in his first start with the Wizards in Friday's loss, Holmes will now be sidelined due to a left big toe sprain. With both Holmes and Marvin Bagley (back) sidelined, the Wizards are lacking in traditional options at center and could deploy Kyle Kuzma as a small-ball option at the position. Holmes' next opportunity to take the court comes Tuesday versus Memphis.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Cleared for Sunday Shamet (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Miami.
Impact Shamet slots into a fully healthy Washington rotation. Shamet will likely settle into a modest rotation role, and he has averaged 7.1 points and 1.1 made threes in 15.0 minutes across 40 prior contests off the bench of the season.
MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE
Richaun Holmes - Late addition to injury report Holmes is questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a left big toe sprain, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Holmes is a late addition to the injury report, and his absence could be a significant blow, as Marvin Bagley (back) remains out. If both big men are unavailable, the Wizards won't have a true center to face Bam Adebayo and the Heat, so Kyle Kuzma, Eugene Omoruyi and Anthony Gill would be candidates for playing time as a small-ball five.

Landry Shamet - Questionable against Miami Shamet (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Heat.

Jordan Poole - Struggles from deep off bench Poole ended Friday's 112-100 victory over the Hornets with 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and two steals across 34 minutes.
Impact Poole might have ended with a decent stat line due to his contributions in peripheral categories and his seven assists, but his struggles on offense continue even after his move to a bench role. Poole's biggest issue has been the lack of efficiency, as he's shown the ability to get the ball in the basket one way or another. He's played Washington's last nine games off the bench, a span where he's averaging 22.8 points per game while shooting 43.2 percent from the field. Even though that figure is not eye-popping, it's certainly an upgrade compared to the 40 percent of shooting efficiency he delivered in a starting role.

Deni Avdija - Records double-double Friday Avdija recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Friday's 112-100 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Avdija has looked good in his return to action following a three-game absence due to a left heel contusion, scoring in double digits in each of his last five appearances and racking up three double-doubles in that span. Avdija is having a career-best season in his first year as a full-time starter, posting career-high numbers in points (13.8), rebounds (6.8) and assists (3.7) per game.

Kyle Kuzma - Sniffs triple-double in win Kuzma ended Friday's 112-100 win over the Hornets with 28 points (11-23 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes.
Impact Kuzma played a significant role in Washington's win Friday, ending just two rebounds and one assist away from recording a triple-double and lifting the Wizards to their 10th win of the season. Kuzma has been one of the few valuable players for Washington this season, at least from a fantasy perspective, as he hasn't had problems with a higher usage rate despite the team's overall struggles. Kuzma is averaging career-best marks in points (22.3), assists (4.2) and field goal percentage (46.2 percent from the field) in 2023-24.
