Coulibaly (heel) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Coulibaly will miss Monday's contest due to a heel issue, and his next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Philadelphia. With the 21-year-old forward sidelined, Jamir Watkins, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie are candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.
A questionable tag for the second leg of this back-to-back set has been a common theme for Coulibaly this season. If he's held out for maintenance, the Wizards may lean more on Will Riley.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Available to play
Rotowire
Coulibaly (knee) is available for Sunday's game in Portland.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Tabbed questionable
Rotowire
Coulibaly is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Portland due to right retrocalcaneal bursitis.
Coulibaly has been tending to a heel injury recently, and he's likely set to miss at least one end of the Wizards' upcoming back-to-back set. If he can't go Sunday, Leaky Black (hip), Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins would likely see more action.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Big impact in limited playing time
Rotowire
Coulibaly posted 21 points (8-16 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to the Warriors.
Coulibaly was limited to 19 minutes for a second consecutive game, but that didn't stop him from being a productive fantasy option. He has scored at least 21 points in four of his last seven games despite averaging just 27.9 minutes per game over that stretch. The numbers are there for the Frenchman, but it's worth keeping a close eye on his playing time, as his fantasy upside won't be very high -- despite how talented he is -- if he continues to log fewer than 20 minutes per game.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) will play Friday against the Warriors.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Warriors.
Coulibaly has been playing through the heel issue the past few games, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround. If Coulibaly is out, more minutes will fall to Jamir Watkins and Leaky Black.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag after dealing with right retrocalcaneal bursitis. For now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions against the Jazz. After missing two games in mid-March, Coulibaly has totaled 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks in 63 minutes over his past two appearances.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Coulibaly is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right retrocalcaneal bursitis.
Coulibaly logged 29 minutes Sunday against the Knicks and didn't show any signs of injury, so it's not clear when the issue popped up. The Wizards should have another update on his availability closer to game time.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Posts loaded line in loss
Rotowire
Coulibaly closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
Coulibaly didn't have his best scoring performance, but he still delivered solid fantasy value by recording at least two tallies in each of the five major categories while logging under 30 minutes. The Frenchman has been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but that won't matter much if he delivers value elsewhere. Over his last six games, Coulibaly is averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 48.1 percent from three-point range.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Drops team-high 21 in loss
Rotowire
Coulibaly produced 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Saturday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder.
The 21 points led the Wizards, as Coulibaly made his return from a two-game absence due to a heel issue. The third-year forward has topped 20 points in four of nine March appearances, averaging 16.0 points, 4.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks on the month.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Efficient scoring in loss
Rotowire
Coulibaly ended with 21 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.
Coulibaly was efficient in his scoring effort, shooting 70 percent from the field while knocking down both of his three-point attempts. Not typically known for his outside shooting, the young forward has now converted multiple threes in three straight games for the first time this season. In addition to his scoring contributions, Coulibaly's eight rebounds Monday marked his highest total since Jan. 29.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Best scoring mark since break
Rotowire
Coulibaly amassed 29 points (9-21 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 136-131 overtime loss to the Magic.
This 29-point output was Coulibaly's best scoring mark since the All-Star break. The Frenchman should remain locked into a starting role as long as he stays healthy or the Wizards decide to start resting their regulars. Coulibaly is averaging 13.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game since the All-Star break.
Coulibaly accumulated 13 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Friday's 131-118 victory over the Pacers.
Coulibaly chipped in across all major categories, despite the fact that his playing time was once again limited to fewer than 25 minutes. While his production has been adequate, there is just no way to predict who is going to step up for the Wizards on any given night. With that said, Coulibaly has at least been in the active rotation in 10 of the past 11 games, making him a borderline 12-team asset, for now.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Returning Sunday
Rotowire
Coulibaly (back) is available for Sunday's game against Miami.
Coulibaly is working through a lower-back issue that sidelined him for Saturday's game against the Nets, but the third-year pro has been cleared to play in the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday. Coulibaly is averaging 9.7 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 26.6 minutes per game this season, all of which are lower than his numbers during the 2024-25 campaign.

Rotowire
Coulibaly (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Miami.
Coulibaly is still considered day-to-day after missing the front end of this back-to-back set Saturday against Brooklyn. If Coulibaly is unable to play, there could be more minutes available for the likes of Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Another absence coming
Rotowire
Coulibaly (back) will not play Saturday against Charlotte.
This is not a good sign for Coulibaly, as he's getting ruled out a day in advance -- he was carrying a questionable tag prior to Thursday's game versus Denver. With Coulibaly out for a fifth straight game, the Wizards could turn to Will Riley, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins to soak up some minutes.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Early exit Wednesday
Rotowire
Coulibaly has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to low back tightness.
Coulibaly will depart before halftime, ending Wednesday's game with three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across 10 minutes. His absence could mean more minutes for Justin Champagnie and Malaki Branham. Coulibaly's next chance to play will come Friday at Sacramento, which is the first leg of a back-to-back set.
