Wizards' Malaki Branham: Remaining out vs. Indiana
Branham (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Branham will miss his second consecutive contest due to a sprained right thumb. The 22-year-old's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against San Antonio.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Ruled out for Sunday
Middleton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Middleton will miss his third straight game due to a right knee contusion, and his next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Spurs. With the veteran forward sidelined, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins will likely continue to see increased playing time.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play Sunday
Sarr (adductor) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Sarr will miss his sixth consecutive contest due to a right adductor strain. With the second-year center sidelined, Marvin Bagley is expected to start, while Tristan Vukcevic should see increased burn off the bench. Sarr's next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Spurs.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Muted in return
Johnson supplied three points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to Cleveland.
Johnson had missed Washington's previous seven games with a left hip flexor strain prior to Friday night, and he showed signs of rust in his return to the hardwood. Friday marked his lowest scoring total of the 2025-26 season, and he didn't contribute much elsewhere. Still, the Texas product didn't appear to be on any kind of minutes limit, and he should continue to see chances to contribute, particularly from beyond the arc.

Wizards' AJ Johnson: Returned to G League
Johnson was assigned to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Saturday.
Johnson continues to bounce between the NBA club and the G League, as he was just recalled Friday. He should see the majority of his playing time for the Go-Go, where he's scored in double figures in all three of his appearances so far this season.

Wizards' Jamir Watkins: Efficient in loss Friday
Watkins totaled 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
Watkins has made only six appearances at the NBA level this season, but this was his best outing by a wide margin. Aside from logging a season-high 29 minutes, Watkins recorded season-best numbers in points, rebounds and blocks. His future role remains uncertain, but the fact that he's played over 15 minutes in three straight games suggests he might be trending in the right direction toward securing a steady role in the rotation.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Posts double-double
Bagley logged 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
With Alex Sarr (thigh) sidelined, Bagley has started regularly since returning from a four-game absence Dec. 1, and he's finding ways to be productive. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis hurts him a bit, but Bagley has scored in double digits in three of his five outings in December. Over that stretch, he's averaging 12.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per contest.

Wizards' CJ McCollum: Puts up 27 points in loss
McCollum totaled 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
McCollum has been playing well of late, and it seems the 46-point outburst he had in the win over the Hawks on Nov. 25 allowed him to leave his early-season struggles behind. McCollum has scored at least 22 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 23.0 points, 2.6 boards and 4.2 assists per game over that stretch. That has been his most productive stretch of the campaign by a wide margin.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Posts season high in defeat
Carrington contributed 27 points (10-20 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 41 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Cavaliers.
With multiple key contributors sidelined, Carrington started a second consecutive contest and made the most of the opportunity. The 20-year-old point guard logged season highs in minutes and points, matching CJ McCollum for the team-high mark in scoring Friday. Carrington has had an underwhelming sophomore season thus far and could lose work to Tre Johnson once he's off his minutes restriction, though Carrington's productive performance against Cleveland is a positive sign moving forward.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Will be limited Friday
Head coach Brian Keefe said Johnson (hip) will play on an unspecified minutes restriction in Friday's game against Cleveland, Ben Strober of 106-7 The Fan Washington reports.
Johnson will return from a seven-game absence due to a left hip flexor strain, though he won't see a full workload. The rookie first-rounder has appeared in 15 regular-season games (four starts) thus far, averaging 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest.

Wizards' AJ Johnson: Recalled from G League
The Wizards recalled Johnson from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
Johnson is joining a banged-up Washington team as emergency depth ahead of Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The 2024 first-rounder is averaging just 4.5 minutes per game over 10 appearances in the NBA this year, so he'll be a candidate to head back to the G League following Friday's action.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Won't play Friday
Branham (thumb) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Branham was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest. He's not a consistent part of the rotation, so his absence won't have a big fantasy impact.

Wizards' Malaki Branham: Iffy for Friday
Branham is questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right thumb sprain.
Branham is not a consistent rotation player in Washington, as he's averaging 8.0 minutes across 11 appearances. Therefore, his status doesn't carry a lot of fantasy implications.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Available for Friday
Cooper (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Cooper will be returning after four straight games on the shelf. Prior to his injury, Cooper was unable to break through Washington's rotation.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Absent from injury report
Johnson (hip) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Johnson has been out with a hip injury since late November, but he's all set to return Friday. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 11.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 24.3 minutes per contest across 15 games this season.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Sitting out Friday
Middleton (knee) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Middleton will be sidelined for a second straight game Friday. His next chance to play comes Sunday against the Pacers. In the meantime, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley will likely pick up some extra minutes.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Another absence coming
Sarr (thigh) will not play Friday against the Cavaliers.
Sarr will be sidelined for the fifth straight game, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of games. Look for Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic to continue to fill the void in the meantime.
