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

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma is no longer on the team's official injury report after missing their last game right before the All-Star break. The 28-year-old only had to miss one game, so fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that his 21.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game return on Thursday. Kuzma has been a great source of stats in fantasy leagues, but it hasn't translated to actual wins for the Wizards so far during his DC tenure. In total stats, he ranks inside the top 100 for nine-category leagues and is just barely outside of it in terms of per-game value. Either way, he's worth starting whenever he's not on the injury report.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is making his return to the court during Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kuzma is back after sitting out of Sunday's game due to a shoulder issue. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload during Wednesday's game. Bilal Coulibaly will head back to the second unit with Kuzma returning for this game. Coulibaly should still be able to carry deep league value even coming off the bench.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't listed on the team's injury report leading into Wednesday's contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. Following a full practice on Tuesday, per The Athletic's Josh Robbins, Kuzma is good to go after sitting out Sunday's blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns due to soreness in his left shoulder. The 28-year-old's defensive shortcomings cap his upside in category leagues, but Kuzma is hovering around fantasy's top 50 in points formats on averages of 21.8 points, 6.5 boards, 4.3 assists, and 2.2 threes in 31.5 minutes across 48 games for Washington this season. With Cleveland's towering frontcourt tandem of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley back at full strength, Kuzma's matchup on Wednesday is a daunting one.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is sidelined ahead of Sunday's game versus Phoenix. Kuzma logged 36 minutes on Friday night against the Miami Heat. He entered Saturday carrying a questionable tag. However, his sore shoulder will keep him off the floor for the meeting with the Suns. With Tyus Jones (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (back) questionable and Marvin Bagley III (concussion) out, Jordan Poole, Deni Avdija, and Daniel Gafford could see more scoring chances. At the same time, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points on Friday night, is likely to be a popular DFS option, regardless if Jones and Coulibaly are available.
