Jordan Poole - Available Monday Poole (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup versus the Pistons.
Impact Poole has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. After a rough start to the campaign, Poole has picked things up of late, averaging 26.7 points (41.8 percent shooting), 3.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals over his last three appearances.

Jordan Poole - Present at shootaround Poole (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, was present at the Wizards' morning shootaround ahead of Monday's game versus the Pistons, Kareem Copeland of The Washington...
Impact Poole was a late scratch ahead of Saturday's matchup versus Atlanta, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, due to left ankle soreness. He's in danger of missing a second consecutive game due to the injury, but his presence at shootaround is a good sign. Poole's availability will likely come down to a game-time decision.

Jordan Poole - Questionable for Monday Poole (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Detroit.
Impact Poole is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Corey Kispert started in his absence in Saturday's loss to Atlanta, while Bilal Coulibaly and Jared Butler saw enlarged workloads.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Rollins - Won't play Monday Rollins (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Pistons.
Impact Rollins will miss a fourth straight game. His absence hasn't impacted the Wizards' gameplan, as he's a fringe rotation player.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Danilo Gallinari - Not listed on injury report Gallinari (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup versus the Pistons.
Impact Gallinari took the second night of a back-to-back set off for rest purposes Saturday, but he'll return to action Monday. Across 14 appearances, the veteran has averaged 7.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.4 minutes per game.

Mike Muscala - Sees 18 minutes Muscala notched five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 18 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to the Hawks.
Impact The 18 minutes was the second largest workload of the season for Muscala, as the Wizards were blown out by the Hawks pretty quickly. For that reason, starting center Daniel Gafford only saw 18 minutes as well. Muscala is usually on the fringe of the rotation and has yet to score in double figures this season.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Scores 12 points Shamet notched 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to the Hawks.
Impact The Wizards were missing Jordan Poole after he tweaked his ankle in warmups, but Shamet played less than usual due to the lopsided score. Jared Butler made a strong case for more minutes off the bench with an encouraging display Saturday, but Shamet has been solid lately and has scored in double figures in two straight games with a total of five three-pointers.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Butler - Impresses off bench Butler finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to Atlanta.
Impact Butler had played a total of 12 minutes in four appearances coming into Saturday's game, but he got a rare opportunity with Jordan Poole (ankle) missing his first game of the season. The Wizards are reeling with a 2-14 record and could easily make some changes to their rotation, so Butler is someone to watch after he gave the coaching staff something to think about Saturday night.

High-scoring Hawks rout Washington 136-108, handing the Wizards their 9th straight loss

Jordan Poole - A late scratch Saturday Poole will not play in Saturday's game against Atlanta due to left ankle soreness.
Impact The Wizards originally listed Poole with the starters, but he was a late scratch after experiencing some soreness prior to tipoff. Corey Kispert will start in Poole's place. It remains to be seen if Poole will be ready for Monday's game against Detroit.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Added to starting lineup Kispert will start against the Hawks on Saturday.
Impact Kispert will replace Jordan Poole in the starting lineup, as the star shooting guard is out due to left ankle soreness. This will be the first start of the season for Kispert, who's averaging 11.6 points per game over his last five outings.
NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Good to go Saturday Avdija (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Impact Avdija was a late addition to the injury report, but he made it through warmups feeling fine and will give it a go Saturday. The Wizards will roll out their usual starters in this one.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Questionable with illness Avdija is questionable for Saturday's game against Atlanta due to an illness.
Impact Avdija is a very late addition to the injury report for Washington. If the Wizards ultimately hold him out, there could be more opportunities for Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Rollins - Out again Saturday Rollins (knee) remains out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Impact Rollins will miss a third straight game. He's a fringe rotation player for Washington, so his absence doesn't hold weight in fantasy.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bilal Coulibaly - Absent from injury report Coulibaly (knee) is not listed on the Wizards injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Hawks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Coulibaly was a late addition to the injury report Friday before being ruled out of the team's eventual loss to the Bucks. It looks like the Wizards were just erring on the side of caution with the rookie on the frontend of a back-to-back set. Barring any setbacks, look for him to see a similar workload to the 26.6 minutes he has averaged over the previous nine games.
NOVEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Danilo Gallinari - Resting Saturday Gallinari will sit out for rest purposes during Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Impact The veteran has sat out only one game this season, but he'll get the second half of the back-to-back set off for rest. In his absence, more minutes could be in store for Anthony Gill, Mike Muscala and other frontcourt players.
