Daniel Gafford - Cleared to return Gafford (thumb) has returned to Sunday's game against Brooklyn, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gafford checked back into the contest midway through the third quarter. Gafford's active play style leads to his fair share of bumps and bruises, but he's no worse for the wear Sunday.

Daniel Gafford - Suffers thumb injury Gafford (thumb) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Nets.
Impact Gafford suffered the injury shortly before halftime, and his inability to emerge from the break in the lineup boats poorly for his return. Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala could see enlarged roles.

Daniel Gafford - Block party in loss Gafford accumulated 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, five blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Friday's 124-117 loss to Charlotte.
Impact It was the second time this season Gafford has reached five blocks, which has him at a career-high 2.8 per game across six games. The big man is also averaging 7.8 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 23.8 minutes. His fantasy will presumably continue depending on his ability to accumulate rejections going forward.

Corey Kispert - Scores 15 off bench Kispert closed Friday's 124-117 loss to the Hornets with 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 16 minutes.
Impact Kispert's 15 points were his second highest total in seven games this season, and his fourth time reaching double-digits. The depth guard is now averaging 10.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 assists and a 2.0 triples across 21.0 minutes on the young season.

Delon Wright - Set to miss 4-6 weeks The Wizards announced Saturday that Wright (knee) will miss approximately 4-6 weeks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Wright was slated to miss at least the next two games due to a knee injury he sustained Friday against the Hornets, and he's facing a multi-week absence after being diagnosed with an MCL sprain in his right knee. Landry Shamet and Johnny Davis are candidates to see increased run over the next few weeks.

Delon Wright - Out at least two games Wright (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Nets or Monday's matchup with Toronto, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wright will miss both legs of Washington's road back-to-back due to a knee injury he suffered against Charlotte. Landry Shamet and Johnny Davis are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Wright's next chance to suit up is Wednesday's matchup with Dallas.

Delon Wright - Will not return Wright will not return to Friday's game against the Hornets due to a left knee injury.
Impact The severity of Wright's injury is not known at this time. In his absence, Landry Shamet could see some extra minutes providing depth in the backcourt.
NOVEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Inefficient against Charlotte Poole produced 11 points (3-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over Charlotte.
Impact Poole topped 20 points for the second time this season during Monday's loss to Philadelphia, but he was unable to replicate those results with an inefficient showing from the floor Wednesday. He also didn't have much production in secondary categories, but that can at least partially be attributed to playing just 20 minutes in the blowout win. He's averaging 17.4 points and 3.3 assists in 26.9 minutes per game and should have better performances in closer matchups.

Landry Shamet - Pops for 15 off bench Shamet contributed 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 17 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Ho...
Impact The 26-year-old guard missed the first few games of the season with a broken toe and didn't make much of an impact in his first two contests, but Shamet was part of a dominant showing by Washington's second unit Wednesday in which it out-scored Charlotte's bench 72-23. His three-point shooting should keep him in the backcourt rotation now that he's healthy, but he'll likely have trouble providing consistent numbers in other categories.

Delon Wright - Hits for 18 in win Wright ended Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets with 18 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals over 26 minutes off the bench.
Impact Three different members of Washington's second unit dropped 15 points or more on a night in which the Wizards' bench out-scored their Hornets counterparts 72-23. Wednesday's effort was the first time this season Wright had even scored in double digits, and despite his good shooting night he still carries a sluggish 37.0 percent field-goal percentage. The Wizards seem committed to Tyus Jones as their starting point guard, but Wright isn't putting much pressure on him for the job.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Danilo Gallinari - Big night off bench Gallinari registered 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-116 win over Charlotte.
Impact Three different members of Washington's second unit dropped 15 points or more on a night in which the Wizards' bench out-scored their Hornets counterparts 72-23. Gallinari hadn't scored in double digits since Opening Night, managing a total of 23 points in the five games between his offensive outbursts, and he'd also failed to make a single three-pointer during that slump. After missing all of last season while recovering from an ACL tear, the 35-year-old may still be shaking off the rust, but Wednesday's performance was an encouraging sign.
NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Leads charge in Charlotte Kuzma notched 33 points (13-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets.
Impact The 28-year-old led the Wizards in scoring with a season-best performance, and Kuzma has taken his game to another level as his team's top offensive threat following the offseason trade of Kristaps Porzingis. Kuzma has scored more than 20 points in seven straight contests to kick off 2023-24, averaging a career-high 25.0 points a game while shooting 50.7 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line -- both personal bests.
