Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Another positive performance
Coulibaly logged 13 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
In just his second game back from injury, Coulibaly played a season-high 29 minutes, scoring an efficient 13 points. While his numbers won't blow anyone away, he looked comfortable on both ends of the floor and should continue to ramp up his playing time. His shooting can be an issue at times, but his defensive capabilities provide fantasy managers with a relatively safe floor.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Makes defensive impact in return
Coulibaly (calf) recorded six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 28 minutes in Sunday's 129-106 loss to the Nets.
Suiting up for the first time since Nov. 4 after missing four straight games due to a left calf contusion, Coulibaly stepped back into the starting five and seemingly wasn't operating with any playing-time restrictions. While he took a back seat offensively with an 11.3 percent usage rate on the day, Coulibaly performed well for fantasy managers who activated him by contributing a pair of steals and blocks. Even though the Wizards sit at just 1-12, the 21-year-old Coulibaly appears to be part of the club's long-term nucleus and should be at lesser risk than veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton in seeing his playing time cut or getting rested in games late in the season.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Questionable for Sunday
Coulibaly (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nets.
Coulibaly has missed Washington's last four games due to a left calf contusion, though the questionable tag suggests he may be nearing a return to game action. If the 21-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out for a fifth straight game, Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert are candidates for increased playing time.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: No timetable for return
Coulibaly (calf) is progressing, but a timetable for return hasn't been offered, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Coulibaly has missed four straight games due to a bruised left calf. The second-year forward did limited work during Wednesday morning's shootaround. The Wizards' next game isn't until Sunday, but it's uncertain if he'll be available for the contest. Cam Whitmore and Corey Kispert have enjoyed increased roles while Coulibaly has been sidelined.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play vs. Cleveland
Coulibaly (lower leg) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Coulibaly exited Wednesday's game against the Celtics after a hard fall, which will keep him on the sidelines for this contest. The Frenchman has played just four games in 2025-26 and is averaging 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. His next chance to play will come against the Mavericks on Saturday on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Strong line in loss
Coulibaly provided 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-102 loss to New York.
Coulibaly turned in another good performance since returning from thumb surgery, helping out on both ends of the floor. Through three games, the 21-year-old wing is averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks. His ability to contribute across the board makes him worthy of a look in most leagues.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Posts full line in debut
Coulibaly (thumb) ended with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 24 minutes in Thursday's 127-108 loss to the Thunder.
After missing Washington's first four games while completing his recovery from right thumb surgery, Coulibaly was cleared to make his 2025-26 debut Thursday and immediately took back a spot in the starting five, with Bub Carrington moving to the bench as a result. Though he improved his averages across the board during his sophomore season in 2024-25 while taking on a larger role for Washington, Coulibaly didn't take much of a step forward with his efficiency, converting at a 42.1 percent clip from the field and 28.1 percent rate from downtown. At least for his debut game, Coulibaly fared well from inside the arc, and he delivered the production in the defensive categories that has driven most of his fantasy value in the prior two seasons. Some inconsistency should be expected with Coulibaly's offensive output moving forward, but the excellent all-around line he posted Thursday at least makes him worthy of a speculative pickup in most leagues where he's still available.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Team option exercised
The Wizards exercised their 2026-27 team option for Coulibaly on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Coulibaly's option is valued at $9.24 million, and this decision was a no-brainer for the franchise. Coulibaly underwent a Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb, but he's been cleared to make his 2025-26 debut against the Thunder on Thursday.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: To debut Thursday
Coulibaly (thumb) will make his season debut Thursday against the Thunder, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
This is a huge development for the Wizards as they reintroduce their prized young forward back into the mix. He's likely to have restrictions in the early going, as this will be his first live action since his Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb. With Coulibaly set to return, it will be interesting to see how the Wizards tweak their rotation because of how well Kyshawn George is playing.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Ruled out for Tuesday
Coulibaly (thumb) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.
Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Coulibaly is considered day-to-day, though the team doesn't have a set timetable for his return, according to Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington. The 21-year-old swingman's next opportunity to make his season debut will come Thursday against the Thunder.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Day-to-day, no timeline to debut
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Coulibaly (thumb) is considered day-to-day, but the third-year wing is without a timeline to make his 2025-26 debut, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.
Coulibaly didn't play during the preseason and was a partial participant in practice as recently as a week ago, but it's unclear how much more on-court work the 21-year-old has been able to do since then. Though Keefe's comments suggest that the Wizards aren't anticipating him missing extensive time while he continues to work his way back from Sept. 12 surgery to address a ligament tear in his right thumb, Coulibaly should still be viewed as doubtful, at best, for the Wizards' next game Tuesday versus the 76ers.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Confirmed out for Wednesday
Coulibaly (thumb) won't play Opening Night against the Bucks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
No surprise here, as it's been widely reported that Coulibaly would miss the first week or two of the regular season. For now, fantasy managers can anticipate a return in early November if his rehab continues to progress well. Kyshawn George is likely to see an increased role to open the season as a result.
