Wizards' Kyshawn George: Notches nine points for Canada
Rotowire
George (elbow) finished with nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes for Canada in Friday's 110-84 World Cup Qualifiers win over Puerto Rico.
George missed the end of the 2025-26 regular season with a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, but he's since been deemed 100 percent. The Wizards are noticeably deeper heading into 2026-27, as Anthony Davis (finger) is expected to be healthy, and the team drafted AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
Wizards' Kyshawn George: More competition for minutes
Rotowire
George's (elbow) role becomes less certain after Washington added another high-upside wing prospect in AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
George displayed intriguing playmaking ability and positional versatility during his sophomore campaign. However, the Wizards now possess considerable depth on the wing, including fellow talented youngsters Tre Johnson and Bilal Coulibaly. George is currently penciled into the starting lineup, but his offensive opportunities may fluctuate depending on lineup combinations. The Wizards also just re-signed Trae Young (quadriceps) and will be welcoming Anthony Davis (finger) to the mix.
George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, and the Wizards had no incentive to rush him back to the court for the last couple of weeks. The forward appeared in 48 regular-season contests with averages of 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 43.8 percent shooting from the field.

George (elbow) is out for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Out at least one more week
Rotowire
The Wizards said Wednesday that George (elbow) will be re-evaluated in one week, at which point an update for his rest-of-season status will be provided, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
George is dealing with a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, an issue that has kept him sidelined since March 3. The Wizards are planning to take a conservative approach with George, so it wouldn't be surprising for next week's update to rule George out for the season. While George has been out, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins have taken on larger roles. The Wizards have six regular-season games after George's set re-evaluation date of April 1.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: To be re-evaluated in three weeks
Rotowire
The Wizards announced Wednesday that George has been diagnosed with a partial tear of the UCL in his left elbow and will be re-evaluated in three weeks.
George sustained the injury in Monday's loss to Houston and won't return until late March at the very earliest. With the Wizards sitting at 16-45 on the season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the club exercise extreme caution with the second-year wing for the remainder of the season. With George sidelined, Will Riley, Jamir Watkins (ankle) and Justin Champagnie are candidates for increased minutes.
