Coulibaly will miss a third straight game as he recovers from a left calf contusion suffered during Washington’s November 5 loss to the Celtics. Rookie Tre Johnson has replaced him in the starting lineup and should retain that role, making him a player worth considering in deep leagues.

Coulibaly left Wednesday’s game against the Celtics with a leg injury and then missed Friday’s game against the Cavaliers. The 21-year-old shooting guard is set to miss another game Saturday against the Mavericks. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson will continue to pick up minutes in his absence.

Coulibaly exited early from Wednesday’s game, and he’ll be held out at least one more game. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson are the top options to receive extended minutes with Coulibaly out. Carrington was a starter at the beginning of the year while Coulibaly was sidelined and played 31 minutes on Wednesday.

Coulibaly is dealing with tightness in his lower left leg, and with the Wizards down big, there’s no reason to risk anything. He played 16 minutes, finishing with one point (0-of-5 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and three assists. Rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley should see plenty of time during the fourth quarter, with the former being the more valuable player if Coulibaly misses time.

Coulibaly has provided top-100 value in nine-cat formats through three games, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP of 143. Whether he can sustain this production level will depend on Coulibaly’s field-goal shooting. He’s making 42.7 percent of his attempts thus far, including a 3-of-10 night against the Magic on Saturday. Coulibaly’s rostered percentage has more than doubled since his season debut on October 30, and it may increase even more with the Wizards playing three more games during Week 3.

Coulibaly made his season debut on Thursday, and the time off impacted his playing time. The third-year wing only played 24 minutes against the Thunder, but he was productive when on the floor. Coulibaly’s return meant Bub Carrington came off the bench, and he finished with three points, four rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes. While Coulibaly’s rostered percentage (17 percent) will increase, Carrington’s (14 percent) may decrease due to the role change and his limited production.

Coulibaly, who suffered a thumb injury that required surgery while playing for France at EuroBasket, will make his season debut on Thursday. And he’ll do so as a starter, with Bub Carrington being bumped to the bench. George, Washington’s most consistent player thus far, remains in the starting lineup.

Coulibaly underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb in September, but he will reportedly be available against Oklahoma City. It’s unclear if Coulibaly will immediately return to the starting lineup in his first game back or if he’ll play a reserve role, but Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore will likely lose out on minutes.

Coulibaly injured his thumb while playing for France at EuroBasket, aggravating the injury during the team’s Round of 16 loss to Georgia. He only attempted three shots in that game, with the thumb likely being a factor. The Wizards did not provide a recovery timeline for Coulibaly. However, this is an injury that could cost him multiple weeks, putting his availability for the beginning of the regular season at risk. Washington ended the season starting Kyshawn George on the wing, but that was when the team was also without Khris Middleton. One of those two will likely step in if Coulibaly is not ready next month, but George will play plenty regardless of the Wizards’ decision with the team in a rebuild.

Coulibaly and France cruised to a 92-64 victory in their EuroBasket opener, with no player exceeding 23 minutes. Coulibaly logged 22 as part of France’s starting lineup, and he looked healthy after his second season with the Wizards ended in March due to a hamstring injury. Last season, he experienced increases in points, rebounds, assists and steals, but efficiency remained an issue. Coulibaly shot 42.1 percent from the field and 28.1 percent from beyond the arc, limiting his fantasy value. Those areas can be issues for players on rebuilding teams, but Coulibaly’s defensive potential makes him a worthwhile late-round target in standard league drafts this fall.

The timeline puts an earliest return date at April 10, and by then, the Wizards will have just two games left on the schedule. Fantasy managers should consider Coulibaly’s 2024-25 season over. Assuming he doesn’t take the court again this season, he finishes his sophomore campaign with 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 triples across 33 minutes per game. Justin Champaignie will be the biggest beneficiary from a fantasy hoops standpoint.

Coulibaly sustained the hamstring injury on Monday against the Raptors, and unsurprisingly, he’ll be out for the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. Justin Champagnie should see additional playing time with Coulibaly sidelined.

Coulibaly, who had a scary fall on a dunk attempt and landed on his back, will not return to Monday’s game due to tightness in his right hamstring. The Wizards wing played eight minutes, finishing with four points, two rebounds and one assist. With Coulibaly done for the night, Justin Champagnie will play additional minutes off the bench.
