Corey Kispert

George is dealing with a right knee contusion, casting some doubt on his status for Wednesday's game. With Corey Kispert (thumb) done for the season, Colby Jones and Jaylen Martin played additional rotation minutes in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers. That will remain the case on Wednesday, regardless of George's status. If Kyshawn sits, one of those two could move into the starting lineup.

Wizards forward Corey Kispert will miss the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on Tuesday to repair a ligament tear in his left thumb.

With just a few weeks left in the 2024-25 campaign, the last-place Wizards will be without another key option. In Kispert's place, Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie should continue to see increased playing time with AJ Johnson picking up a few extra minutes, too.

Kispert sprained his left thumb during Saturday's loss to the Nuggets. Already ruled out for Monday's game in Portland, he has been sent back to the nation's capital to have his thumb examined by team doctors. Kispert's early return means AJ Johnson could remain in the rotation. However, fantasy managers are better served to target Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie, who remain available in more than 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Kispert injured his left thumb during Saturday's win over the Nuggets and will not play in Portland on Monday. His absence frees up additional minutes for AJ Johnson, who logged 18 on Saturday, as the Wizards were already playing without Marcus Smart. While Johnson may take on a similar role, he isn't productive enough to merit being streamed.
