George provided 17 points (5-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and four steals across 36 minutes during Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Bulls.
George was held to a season-low five points on 2-of-7 shooting his last time out, so it was nice to see him bounce back with a big stat line. This was George's second double-double of the season and the third of his career, and he also notched a new career high in steals. He'll look to continue stuffing the stat sheet Tuesday against the Hawks.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Tops 20 points again
Rotowire
George generated 23 points (8-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes of Wednesday's 120-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
George led the Wizards in points and assists while tying for the team high in rebounds. The second-year guard has scored more than 20 points in back-to-back contests after having not done so once in the previous seven outings. The 21-year-old is in the midst of a breakout campaign, averaging 17.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 31.5 minutes per game.
George provided 29 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 129-106 loss to the Nets.
George certainly did his part Sunday, but it wasn't nearly enough to keep his team in the game. This was his best scoring performance since Oct. 24, when he tacked on 34 points in a 117-107 win over Dallas, and he contributed on the boards and as a passer. George is averaging 15.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists over his last five games.
George notched 16 points (7-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets.
George surpassed the 15-point mark for the first time since Nov. 1, but as has been the trend with the second-year forward, his fantasy upside isn't strictly tied to what he can do in the scoring column. George also ended just three boards and one assist away from recording his first triple-double of the season, and his contributions in peripheral categories have been notable as well. Although his numbers have regressed compared to the blistering start to the campaign, George remains one of the most valuable fantasy options in Washington. He's averaging 13.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
George (illness) is questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Mavericks.
George could miss a second consecutive game due to an illness. Tre Johnson, Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore may see more time on the floor if George can't play, especially with Khris Middleton (knee) and Bilal Coulibaly (calf) already ruled out.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
George (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
George was initially listed as questionable for this game, but the downgrade to out means he'll miss a game for the first time this season. George, who's averaging 16.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game as a starter in 2025-26, will aim to return for the second leg of this back-to-back set against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
George (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
George was a very late addition to the injury report after waking up under the weather. Based on the questionable tag, George may attempt to warm up before a decision is made on his status. If he's unable to play, the Wizards could lean more on Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Leads team in scoring
Rotowire
George finished with 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 125-94 loss to Orlando.
George turned in an efficient shooting performance, but it didn't impact the final outcome in a blowout loss at home. He also logged fewer minutes Saturday as a result of the non-competitive matchup. George has enjoyed a strong start to the new campaign, averaging 18.3 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in six appearances.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Option picked up
Rotowire
The Wizards exercised their 2026-27 team option for George on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
George's option was for $3.11 million, and there was never any doubt here. The second-year forward has gotten off to a monster start to the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 20.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.5 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Back on track despite loss
Rotowire
George chipped in 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 139-134 overtime loss to Philadelphia.
George sniffed a triple-double in the loss, turning things around after struggling during Sunday's loss to the Hornets. All in all, it's been a fantastic start to the season for George, getting it done on both ends of the floor. Through four games, he is averaging 20.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.5 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per game.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Held to six points in 25 minutes
Rotowire
George fouled out in 25 minutes Sunday, finishing with six points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and three turnovers in a 139-113 loss to the Hornets.
While George was the lead dog on offense through the first two games of the season, he took a bit of a back seat to CJ McCollum in this one, as the latter finished with a team-high 20 shot attempts. George also struggled with foul trouble and couldn't get his three-point shot to drop, so it was just an off night for the second-year player. He'll have a chance to bounce back Tuesday against the 76ers.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Pours in career-high 34 in Dallas
Rotowire
George totaled 34 points (11-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 117-107 win over the Mavericks.
Making his second straight start to begin the season with Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) sidelined, George produced an outstanding all-around performance that included a new career scoring high, while none of his teammates managed more than 17 points. The second-year forward is coming off a respectable rookie campaign after being the 24th overall pick in the 2024 Draft, but George is making an early statement that he might be ready for a Year 2 breakout after impressive back-to-back road outings in Milwaukee and Dallas.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Scores 35 points with 11 rebounds
Rotowire
George popped off for 34 points (11-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals, three swats and five turnovers in 35 minutes during Friday's 117-107 win over the Mavericks.
George has been on an absolute heater to begin the year, and at just 20 years old, he became the youngest player in Wizards/Bullets franchise history to open the season with consecutive 20-point games. He hit career-highs in points and rebounds Friday night, and he looks poised for a monster season.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Puts up 21 points in loss
Rotowire
George notched 21 points (7-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to the Bucks.
George, who is coming off a terrific preseason, certainly turned some heads Wednesday. Starting in place of the injured Bilal Coulibaly (thumb), George was an obvious emphasis of the offensive game plan with 15 shot attempts on the night. He looks to have improved significantly over the offseason and could be set up for a big year, and it's worth mentioning the Wizards will likely try to get him some reps alongside Coulibaly at the expense of a veteran like Khris Middleton.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Scores 20 points with six boards
Rotowire
George produced 20 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one 3-pointer, one steal, one block and two turnovers in 27 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to the Pistons.
George looked good starting alongside the regulars in Washington's preseason finale, so it'll be interesting to see if he can begin the season as a starter. It helps his case that Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) will begin the year on the sidelines, and the Wizards will be looking to develop their young guys this season, given the current roster construction isn't expected to be competitive.
Wizards' Kyshawn George: Blocks four shots in loss
Rotowire
George closed with 11 points (3-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and three assists in 25 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Raptors.
George was given the starting nod and certainly made the most of his opportunity. Coming off a strong showing in the recent Summer League, as well as an encouraging end to the 2024-25 season, George looks set to be handed more responsibility. With Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) likely to miss at least a handful of games, it could be George who ends up being the primary beneficiary. On a team looking to develop its young core, George certainly makes for an intriguing late-round addition in all fantasy formats.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
George is in the starting lineup for Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors.
George will start in the frontcourt alongside Alex Sarr with Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) sidelined. Coulibaly is due to be re-evaluated soon, but he's likely to miss the beginning of the regular season. Therefore, George has a nice little window to make some noise early on.
