Rotoworld Player News

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Bilal Coulibaly (heel), Tre Johnson (foot) and Tristan Vukčević (knee) are out for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

The Wizards will be light on options for Sunday’s season finale, especially on the perimeter. The absence of Coulibaly and Johnson will mean more opportunities for Will Riley and Leaky Black. As for Vukčević, his continued absence does not change much in the frontcourt, with the Wizards continuing to rely on Julian Reese.
Anthony Gill

WAS Forward #16

Anthony Gill (back, head) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

In addition to his back injury, Gill took a shot to the head during Friday’s loss to the Heat. While the veteran forward/center was not officially ruled out at the time, he’s dealing with a headache, so Gill is on the injury report. Julian Reese has been productive recently and is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues, regardless of Gill’s availability.
Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley amassed 16 points (7-of-17 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

Riley has scored in double figures in 10 of his last 11 appearances, including Friday’s defeat. With multiple Wizards wings sidelined due to injury, the rookie has been allowed to do more offensively, whether he’s coming off the bench or starting. For fantasy managers in active leagues, Riley is worth a look for the Wizards’ season finale on Sunday against the Cavaliers.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly recorded 25 points (9-of-16 FGs, 5-of-5 FTa), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

Back in the lineup after missing Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, Coulibaly recorded his first stat line this season with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists. Given the Wizards’ many young wings and the fact that they’ll likely hold onto their top-8 protected first-round pick, Coulibaly will face significant competition for rotation minutes when training camp opens next fall. Nights like Friday can only strengthen his case for a starting spot.
Bub Carrington

WAS Guard #7

Bub Carrington accumulated 30 points (11-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and six three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Heat.

A double-digit scorer in six consecutive games, Carrington matched his season-high on Friday with 30 points. The second-year guard made six of his seven three-point attempts against the Heat while finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With a healthy Trae Young in the mix, Carrington is going to have a reserve role next season. That said, a good finish to the season would help solidify his place in the rotation.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Leaky Black, Anthony Gill and Julian Reese will start Friday’s game against the Heat.

Coulibaly is back after missing Thursday’s loss to the Bulls and reclaims his place in the starting lineup. Will Riley heads to the bench, but he should still play plenty due to the Wizards still being shorthanded on the wings.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is available for Friday’s matchup with the Heat.

Coulibaly will return to play the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set after sitting out Thursday’s matchup with the Bulls. He should handle his typical workload for Washington’s 81st game of the season.
Leaky Black

WAS Forward #14

Leaky Black recorded 14 points (6-of-14 FGs), nine rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Bulls.

A common practice of lottery-bound teams at this stage of the season is to play their two-way and 10-day contract guys heavy minutes. Black played 41 minutes on Thursday, and while the stat line wasn’t exactly robust, he finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Playing time shouldn’t be an issue for Leaky in Washington’s final two games of the season, so those in active leagues should consider picking him up.
Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley accumulated 23 points (8-of-22 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, three steals, three blocks and one three-pointer in Thursday’s loss to the Bulls.

While he struggled with his shot on Thursday, going 1-of-9 from three, Riley’s overall stat line would be valuable in category leagues. The rookie wing recorded six “stocks” and offered solid value in rebounds and assists. Kyshawn George had a similar finish to last season, which boosted his ADP going into drafts last fall. The Wizards’ wing rotation is a bit more crowded going into this offseason, so Riley may not be able to do the same, but there’s a lot to like about the 20-year-old wing.
Julian Reese

WAS Forward #15

Julian Reese finished Thursday’s loss to the Bulls with 16 points (5-of-14 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one blocked shot.

When allowed to play significant minutes, Reese has consistently played well enough to earn a longer look from the Wizards in the summer. He recorded another double-double on Thursday, his third in as many games and fifth since being signed to a two-way deal. The Wizards have two more games this season, and Reese can be valuable to managers in active fantasy leagues.
