Kyle Kuzma's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) wasn't available for Tuesday's practice but is ramping up in his recovery. Kuzma suffered a rib cartilage sprain on Nov. 27 in a game against the Clippers. He's been out for the subsequent seven contests. It looks like Kuzma still needs more time to recover, but his return shouldn't be far away anymore. The 29-year-old sits second in scoring on the team with 15.8 points per game and has averaged 5.6 rebounds. Bilal Coulibaly's role on offense has grown during Kuzma's absence. He's averaged 21.0 points across the past three games.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out again for the sixth consecutive game since injuring his ribs against the Los Angeles Clippers on November 27. The veteran power forward has yet to find his footing this year in the midst of the injuries he's experienced. Right now, his numbers have decreased across the board from last season, especially in scoring and efficiency. In his place, Justin Champagnie will likely continue to get some more playing time. Champagnie has averaged 15.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game over the last three games.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ribs) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets, marking his fourth straight absence due to a sprained left rib. With Kuzma struggling to match his strong numbers from last season, this injury adds to his challenges. He's averaging 27.4 minutes, 15.8 points, and 5.6 rebounds per game this year, and his next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Memphis. In the meantime, Bilal Coulibaly, Carlton Carrington, and Johnny Davis are expected to step up and fill the void.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Kuzma injured his groin during Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers, so fantasy managers already had an idea this was coming. He's already missed five games this season because of a rib injury. However, it's anyone's guess when the 29-year-old will be back on the floor. But until Kuzma returns, Kyshawn George, averaging 12.3 points and 5.3 boards in six starts this season, is worth streaming, although his 26.1% shooting from deep won't be appreciated by category managers.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (rib) exited Wednesday's loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. He did not return. The 29-year-old wasn't on the court long, logging only eight minutes before calling it a night because of a rib sprain. But now the real question is if he'll be ready to go Saturday's game in Milwaukee. Unfortunately, fantasy managers are used to this, so they are already preparing for Kuzma to miss at least a game or two. He'll likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. In the meantime, Jordan Poole should benefit if Kuzma spends time on the shelf. Alexandre Sarr, Malcolm Brogdon, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibaly could also see an uptick in production.
