RJ Hampton - Gets recalled Friday Washington recalled Hampton from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
Impact Hampton, who signed a 10-day contract with the Wizards on Sunday, continues to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League. He'll be available for Friday's game against the Hornets, but he's not guaranteed to make his Wizards debut.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Bagley III - Sidelined at least another week The Wizards announced Friday that Bagley (back) will be re-evaluated in one week, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact Bagley has already been ruled out for Friday's contest due to a lower back strain, marking his second straight absence. The Wizards have opted to go small with Bagley out, inserting Corey Kispert into the starting lineup and utilizing Kyle Kuzma at center.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Baldwin Jr. - Recalled to NBA Washington recalled Baldwin (back) from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Thursday, and he's not listed on the Wizards' injury report for Friday's game against the Hornets.
Impact Baldwin has been sidelined since suffering a back injury in the G League at the end of March. It appears he'll be available Friday, but the second-year wing isn't expected to make an impact in fantasy.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Downgraded to out Shamet (calf) won't play in Friday's game versus the Hornets.
Impact Shamet has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to left calf soreness. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Miami.
MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Iffy for Friday Shamet is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Hornets due to left calf soreness.
Impact Shamet presumably suffered his injury during Wednesday's loss to Orlando. If the 26-year-old guard is ruled out, Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert and Johnny Davis are candidates to receive increased playing time.
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Bagley III - Won't play Friday Bagley (back) will not play Friday against the Hornets.
Impact It'll be the second straight game on the sidelines for Bagley, and it'll be Kyle Kuzma, Richaun Holmes and Deni Avdija picking up the slack in his absence. For now, Bagley should be considered questionable for Sunday's game in Miami.

Wizards face the Hornets on 16-game slide
Washington looks to end its 16-game skid when the Washington Wizards play CharlotteMARCH 7 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wizards make it a not-so-sweet 16 straight losses, tying franchise mark Washington lets a 21-point first-half lead get away in a 119-109 loss before a home crowd that is starting to show its disappointment.

Kyle Kuzma - Scores 25 versus Orlando Kuzma closed Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Magic with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
Impact Kuzma has scored 20-plus points in nine of his last 10 games as he continues to be the focal point in the Wizards' offense. With Jordan Poole coming off the bench, Kuzma should continue to see more scoring opportunities at the beginning of each half. Over his last 10 games, Kuzma has averaged 24.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting (including 40.6 percent from three), 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 33.7 minutes.

Corey Kispert - Scores eight in spot start Kispert provided eight points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.
Impact Kispert picked up three fouls in the first quarter -- including two on offense -- and was forced to sit on the bench for the entire second frame. His 19 minutes of court time Wednesday was his lowest since Jan. 24, despite the fact he was inserted into the starting lineup for Marvin Bagley (back).
MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Leads Wizards off bench Wednesday Poole amassed 26 points (9-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.
Impact Over his last eight games since being moved to the bench, Poole has averaged 23.8 points per game on 44.1 percent shooting (including 38.2 percent from three), 3.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals over 30.0 minutes. It appears his playing time hasn't been hurt since joining the second unit, and he was out on the floor for most of the fourth quarter in Wednesday's loss.
