Wizards' AJ Dybantsa: Considered day-to-day
Head coach Brian Keefe said Sunday that Dybantsa is day-to-day with an ankle sprain, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Dybantsa exited Friday's preseason finale with the ankle injury and did not return. The rookie No. 1 overall pick can be considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks until the Wizards provide an update on his status. If he's forced to miss time, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Wizards' Reece Beekman: Lands two-way pact
Beekman had his Exhibit 10 contract converted to a two-way deal by the Wizards on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Beekman signed with the Wizards for training camp and has done enough to earn himself a two-way contract. He last played in the NBA in the 2024-25 season and will likely spend most of his time with the G League's Capital City Go-Go in 2026-27.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Sniffs double-double in loss
Sarr tallied 12 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one steal and one block in 26 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Sarr grabbed nine rebounds for the second straight game and scored a preseason-high 12 points. The third-year big man has shared frontcourt minutes with Anthony Davis this preseason. His rebounding and rim protection should give Washington an imposing pairing up front for the Wizards.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Ends preseason with diverse line
George logged 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks over 27 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
George put together another efficient night, making five of his seven shots while chipping in on the defensive end. His preseason numbers make a strong case for a full-time starting role for him when the regular season begins.

Wizards' Anthony Davis: Solid finish to preseason in narrow loss
Davis generated 14 points (6-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks over 27 minutes during Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Davis notched his second straight double-double, led Washington in rebounds and tied for the team lead in blocks. Washington acquired the veteran big man from Dallas in an eight-player trade in February. The All-Star's health will again be the key variable when Washington opens the regular season Wednesday against the Bucks.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Adds five points in preseason finale
Middleton amassed five points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 14 minutes in Friday's 107-106 preseason loss to the Pelicans.
Middleton made his 2026 preseason debut in the Wizards' final exhibition game. The veteran forward struggled with efficiency but led the second unit in assists. He'll likely compete for playing time with Justin Champagnie and Will Riley behind Anthony Davis in the regular season.

Wizards' AJ Dybantsa: Won't return Friday
Dybantsa (ankle) won't return to Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. He'll finish with 12 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one block in 15 minutes.
Dybantsa rolled his ankle before walking to the locker room in the second quarter of the Wizards' preseason finale, and he won't return for precautionary reasons. The rookie No. 1 overall pick's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Bucks.

Wizards' AJ Dybantsa: Leaves for locker room Friday
Dybantsa exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Friday's preseason game against the Pelicans due to an apparent ankle injury, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Dybantsa appeared to roll his ankle before walking to the locker room. He can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light, though it wouldn't be surprising to see the Wizards exercise caution ahead of the regular season.

Wizards' Anthony Davis: Starting Friday
Davis (rest) will start in Friday's preseason finale against the Pelicans.
Davis sat out Monday's preseason loss to the Nets for rest, but he's back and starting for the Wizards' preseason finale. Joining him in the first unit will be Trae Young, Kyshawn George, AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Struggles to score
Sarr finished with six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and nine rebounds across 23 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
Without Anthony Davis (rest) drawing attention, Sarr struggled to score Monday. The third-year big man is set to play for the most talented Wizards team of his young career in 2026-27, which also features Trae Young at point guard.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Scores 19 points off bench Monday
Coulibaly recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, an assist, three steals and a block across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
Coulibaly provided an impressive two-way performance off Washington's bench, shooting 63.6 percent from the field while also notching strong numbers on the defensive end. This is a make-or-break year for Coulibaly, who's expected to open the season as a bench alternative after the Wizards drafted AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Coulibaly can be an intriguing fantasy option as long as he logs enough playing time, but his role remains uncertain this season after posting down numbers in the 2025-26 campaign, when he averaged 11.7 points, 4.3 boards and 2.6 assists per game -- all downgrades compared to 2024-25.

Wizards' Trae Young: Hands out 11 assists
Young finished with 11 points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
On one hand, Young struggled to find his shooting rhythm, making just one field goal and relying heavily on free throws for his scoring. However, the veteran point guard dazzled as a playmaker with 11 assists, even if the eight turnovers were concerning. Still, the fact that Young posted a double-double despite his offensive inefficiency is a great sign of him being ready for the start of the 2026-27 regular season. Young's passing volume remains an important fantasy asset, but his ball security and shooting efficiency will be worth monitoring. If he stays healthy, he should have a sizable role as the team's primary floor general in a dynamic lineup alongside AJ Dybantsa, Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis.

Wizards' AJ Dybantsa: Well-rounded stat line Monday
Dybantsa recorded 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 25 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
Dybantsa overcame a slow start to deliver an encouraging performance, becoming more involved offensively during the second half. His shooting efficiency remained inconsistent, but he contributed in several categories while grabbing four offensive rebounds. The rookie is slated to open the 2026-27 season as the Wizards' starting small forward and should see consistent playing time out of the get-go in his first year in the league.

Wizards' Tre Mann: Logs 12 minutes off bench
Mann finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist over 12 minutes in Monday's 131-119 preseason loss to the Nets.
Mann skipped Saturday's exhibition due to general soreness, but he was back in action Monday evening. Mann will battle Bub Carrington for the reserve minutes behind Trae Young, but he's not expected to have a significant role in the rotation.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Remains out Monday
Middleton (rest) was unavailable for Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to Brooklyn, Greg Finberg of Wizardscentral.com reports.
Middleton has yet to play in the preseason as he ramps up his conditioning. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up will come Friday against New Orleans.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Nets 21 points on seven shots
George produced 21 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and three steals over 25 minutes in Monday's 131-119 preseason loss to the Nets.
George was dialed in, missing only one shot while he was out there, and he was one of the few Washington players to finish with a positive plus-minus rating. George showed some impressive flashes last season, but he may struggle to assert himself in the offense when working alongside Trae Young, Anthony Davis, AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Starting sans Davis
Ayton is starting Monday's preseason game against the Nets.
The Wizards are resting Anthony Davis on Monday, opening a spot in the first unit. Ayton is positioned to play the backup center role for Washington in 2026-27.
