According to Michael Scotto of USA Today, the Washington Wizards announced that guard/forwardBilal Coulibaly(hip) will be out for approximately 4-6 weeks due to a right hamstring injury. Coulibaly was already going to miss Thursday's contest against the Pistons as he's also been dealing with a right hip contusion. Washington has been eliminated from playoff contention, so they may decide to just shut down the 20-year-old for the remainder of the season. With Coulibaly sidelined for the foreseeable future, players like Corey Kispert, Bub Carrington,Justin Champagnie and Marcus Smart will be in line for extra minutes and more scoring opportunities to close out the regular season's final month.

Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes (knee) is out for Thursday's game against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old missed the last two games because of a bruised right knee. He's still dealing with swelling, so it's unknown if he'll be healthy enough to return when the Lakers play the Nuggets on Friday night. Alex Len got the start in Monday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. However, Len only logged 13 minutes and finished with two rebounds, two assists, and one block. Jarred Vanderbilt and Trey Jemison III also got on the floor. Still, the duo combined for only nine points. With that in mind, Len, Vanderbilt, and Jemison may split time underneath the basket on Thursday, meaning they may not be worth starting in any fantasy format.

Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports that Brooklyn Nets forwardNoah Clowney(ankle) has been downgraded from questionable to unavailable for Thursday's matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The 20-year-old suffered a sprained left ankle during a loss to Sacramento on January 27th, keeping him out of action for 15 contests. Since then, he's been available for Brooklyn's previous three games, although he tweaked his right ankle in Tuesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. Clowney is averaging 9.5 points and 3.9 assists this season. He hasn't shown to be a consistent fantasy contributor early in his NBA career.

Jovan Buha of The Athleticreports that Los Angeles Lakers forwardRui Hachimura (knee) was sent back to Los Angeles and will be considered day-to-day by head coach JJ Redick moving forward. Hachimura, along with LeBron James(groin) andJaxson Hayes(knee), are returning to Los Angeles early from a Lakers road trip that still includes stops in Milwaukee and Denver. The 27-year-old Hachimura has missed six consecutive contests, but his recovery is moving in the right direction. Barring any setbacks, he could potentially return against the Suns on Sunday.

According to Jovan Buha of The Athletic, Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick said that forwardLeBron James (groin) has already been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Bucks and Friday's matchup against the Nuggets, and is considered day-to-day moving forward. James' streak of missed games will extend to three after Friday's contest due to a left-groin strain. Despite being out of action for the next two games, the 40-year-old star forward could potentially return to the floor on Sunday against the Suns. In 10 outings since the All-Star game, he has posted averages of 28.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 steals during 36.5 minutes per game.
