Sarr underwent on his right foot in June after fracturing it during an offseason workout. Foot injuries for big men aren’t something to toy around with, and they’ll take the necessary precautions, which means he’ll be limited during camp. Sarr will be an important piece of the starting lineup once again this season and will form a formidable duo down low alongside Anthony Davis. However, that can only happen if the pair are healthy.

Gill, who appeared in 55 games in 2025-26, returns to Washington for a seventh season. He averaged nearly 18 minutes in those 55 appearances, contributing 5.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. While Gill will once again be a positive influence within the Wizards’ locker room, he’s unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball.

Mann was sent to Cleveland from Charlotte as part of the Dennis Schroder trade last week, but he’ll end up back in the Southeast division. Mann has shown flashes and could compete with Bub Carrington for the backup point guard job behind Trae Young, but with the compensation that was required for the Wizards to acquire him, it is unlikely they have big plans for him.

Trimble’s college career appeared to be over after he completed four seasons of eligibility at North Carolina. However, a recent court ruling that has given Class of 2022 athletes a fifth season of eligibility has opened the door for many to go back to school. Trimble, who agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Wizards last month, will take advantage of the opportunity, playing his fifth season at Louisville. However, the NCAA has said that it will not provide blanket eligibility waivers. As a result, he will need the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to uphold the injunction to be assured of playing college basketball next season. Trimble’s decision won’t affect fantasy basketball, and there’s even less reason for managers in deep dynasty leagues to consider adding him.

With Williams out of two-way contract eligibility, his deal with the Wizards may not be guaranteed but does ensure he’ll be in training camp. Williams had an outstanding 2025-26 season for the Wizards’ G League affiliate, averaging 22.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game. The production was enough to earn him a 10-day contract with the Wizards in February as the team was dealing with multiple injuries on the perimeter. Williams is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball, especially with Trae Young leading a deep perimeter rotation.

The report made to sure to point out that, despite Aug. 6 marking the first day that Davis is eligible to sign an extension with Washington, negotiations won’t happen until during the season. AD didn’t suit up for the Wizards last season after they dealt for him, so having him play in some games for them will help both parties figure out if Washington will be his long-term home. The Wizards have plenty of talent on their roster, with AD and Trae Young as veteran stars, while AJ Dybantsa, Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George and Tre Johnson highlight the future faces of the franchise. If they’re able to get things to click, this can be a competitive team in the East next season.

Watkins reportedly suffered the injury during the Wizards’ summer league opener against the Jazz, which explains why he didn’t appear again after playing 20 minutes as a starter in that game. Watkins was selected with the 43rd pick in 2025 and was solid as a rookie, especially down the stretch of the season. Now, there is a chance he misses the entirety of his sophomore campaign. It’s unclear if he would’ve had much of a role this upcoming season, but this solidifies that Bilal Coulibaly and Will Riley will see most of the wing minutes off the bench.

Selected with the 46th overall pick in last month’s draft, Okpara will be on a two-way contract with the Wizards next season. With AJ Dybantsa, Will Riley and Tre Johnson all shut down for the rest of summer league, players like Okpara will have more opportunities on offense. While the Wizards have given two-way and G League players opportunities in the past, that may not happen as often next season as the team moves past its rebuild. Okpara is worth considering in deep dynasty leagues, but that’s it.

Given how well Dybantsa played in his two appearances in Las Vegas, this was the expected conclusion for the first overall pick in last month’s draft. The 6-foot-9 forward totaled 50 points in his two appearances, most recently recording a 23/7/2/3/2 line in Sunday’s win over the Kings. Dybantsa being ruled out for the rest of summer league will allow the other young Wizards more room to show what they can provide. Fantasy-wise, Dybantsa should be one of the first rookies off the board in drafts, regardless of league format. Will Riley and Tre Johnson are also done for the summer.

The rookie out of Tennessee logged 20 minutes in his first summer league outing. He didn’t contribute much in the box score, but he was effective on the offensive glass. Okpara should continue to get more opportunities as summer league progresses.
