Bilal Coulibaly - Joins starting lineup Coulibaly will enter the starting lineup for Friday's game against Boston, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Wizards traded Daniel Gafford away at the deadline, and Richaun Holmes (trade pending) and Marvin Bagley (back) are both unavailable. As a result, the Wizards will roll with a smaller lineup with Kyle Kuzma shifting to center. In three starts this season, Coulibaly averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.3 blocks.

Richaun Holmes - Won't debut Friday Holmes (traded pending) is out for Friday's game versus the Celtics.
Impact Holmes was traded from the Mavericks on Thursday but won't make his Washington debut against Boston. With the Wizards trading away Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley (back) out, the team will be left thin at center. Holmes' next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.
FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Patrick Baldwin Jr. - Ruled out Friday Baldwin (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus the Celtics.
Impact Baldwin will miss Friday's contest after being downgraded from questionable to out with a sprained right foot. His next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Philadelphia.

Patrick Baldwin Jr. - Questionable for Friday Baldwin is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained right ankle.
Impact Baldwin isn't a consistent part of the Wizards' rotation, so whether he plays won't matter much in fantasy hoops.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Livers - Won't play Friday Livers (hip) will remain on the sidelines for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Livers still hasn't logged a single minute for the Wizards since landing in D.C. back in January, and there haven't been any positive updates, so he should be considered "out indefinitely." There are no fantasy implications to this report.
FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Bagley III - Won't play Friday Bagley (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics.
Impact Friday will mark Bagley's fourth straight game on the sidelines, but maybe he'll be able to get back out there for Saturday's game against the 76ers. With Bagley set to watch Friday's game from the sidelines, and Daniel Gafford being shipped away to Dallas, the Wizards may be forced to give Kyle Kuzma a lot of center minutes if Richaun Holmes is not cleared in time for the game.

Richaun Holmes - Heading to Washington Holmes was traded from the Mavericks to the Wizards on Thursday in exchange for Daniel Gafford, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Holmes had an inconsistent role for the Mavericks over the past few weeks, but he'll have an opportunity for a fresh start with his new team. Since Gafford is heading to Dallas as part of the return, Holmes will likely serve as the Wizards' primary backup at center once Marvin Bagley (back) is healthy.

Corey Kispert - Big night off bench Wednesday Kispert contributed 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Just two games after setting a season high with 26 points, Kispert came within a three-pointer of matching that output. The 2021 first-round pick has dropped at least 15 points in four straight games, taking advantage of the extra work he's picking up with Marvin Bagley (back) on the shelf. Over that four-game stretch, Kispert's averaging 20.0 points, 3.8 boards, 3.3 threes and 2.3 assists while shooting 54.4 percent from the floor.

Daniel Gafford - Double-double against Cavs Gafford totaled 14 points (7-12 FG), 13 rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
Impact The fifth-year center won his individual battle with Jarrett Allen on the night, even if the Wizards lost the war. The double-double was Gafford's fourth in the last six games and ninth of the season, leaving him one short of the career-high 10 he recorded in 2022-23. Over that six-game stretch, he's averaging 12.8 points, 11.3 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 66.0 percent from the floor.
