George entered Thursday’s game in a slump, having shot 8-of-28 from the field over the previous three games. He got back on track against the Celtics, but it wasn’t enough to help Washington avoid a 45-point defeat. The recent slump dropped his fantasy value just outside the top-100, but the second-year wing should be fine. He remains someone who has to be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and George will be more valuable later in the season.

George is good to go after initially being considered questionable. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting small forward. With the Wizards being down multiple wings, Cam Whitmore is still in line for a boost to his usage on Tuesday.

Washington gritted out a tough win over Milwaukee on Sunday, and the Wizards may just be giving George a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Corey Kispert (thumb) is out indefinitely, Tre Johnson (hip) is out, and Khris Middleton is resting. That leaves Cam Whitmore as the man who could see a massive usage boost. Whitmore is worth streaming on Tuesday’s six-game slate.

George will be back after a one-game absence. Corey Kispert started in his place, but he fractured his right thumb and will be sidelined indefinitely. Cam Whitmore should see a few extra minutes off the bench with Tre Johnson (hip) also sidelined, but he won’t see a significant boost in minutes with George available.

George’s absence from Tuesday’s win over the Hawks led to Corey Kispert starting, and he scored 16 points in the first quarter. However, Kispert suffered a fractured right thumb during the third quarter and is out indefinitely. With Tre Johnson (hip) also out indefinitely, Cam Whitmore may be the next man up if George can’t play on Friday.

George will miss a game for the second time this season, freeing up a spot in the starting lineup. Tre Johnson was the replacement for the first game George missed on November 7, but he is out as well. Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore should also have increased opportunities to contribute, with the former being the preferred deep-league streamer.

George has not missed a game since November 7, and that was due to an illness. On that night, he was replaced in the starting lineup by Tre Johnson. That may be the Wizards’ approach on Tuesday as well, with the rookie being worthy of a look in deep leagues. Cam Whitmore will also have added value, but he is a deep-league streamer at best.

George had a chance to put Washington ahead in the final seconds but uncorked an errant pass that went out of bounds, sending the Wizards to their 14th straight defeat. The 21-year-old forward has been one of the club’s few standouts this season, delivering seventh-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 16.5 points through 15 games. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around when they open a two-game week with a showdown against the Hawks on Tuesday night.

George continues to flourish, most recently doing so on a night when the Wizards were without Alex Sarr. The second-year wing has scored at least 20 points on five occasions this season, including each of his last two appearances. In fantasy basketball, only Sarr has been more valuable than George among Wizards players thus far. Given how well Kyshawn has played, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

George knocked down five of 10 attempts from beyond the arc, finishing just shy of his second 30-point outing of the season. It was an impressive individual showing, but it wasn’t enough to keep Washington from dropping its 11th straight game, falling to 1-12 on the year. The 21-year-old has averaged 19.7 points over his last three contests, performing at roughly a fifth-round level for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around this week when they face the Timberwolves, Raptors and Bulls in road tilts.

While George didn’t produce the best field-goal percentage on Wednesday, fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the rebounds, assists and steals. The nine assists were a career-high for the second-year wing, who is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. While some pinpointed George as a potential breakout candidate during the offseason, few expected him to be as valuable as he’s been thus far.

George will be back after missing Friday’s game against Cleveland. Both Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson started with George and Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out. Coulibaly is still out, so only one of Carrington and Johnson will remain in the starting lineup, though both should play big minutes.

George missed Friday’s game against the Cavaliers with an illness and his questionable listing has his status up in the air for Saturday. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson could end up playing a lot if George is ultimately ruled out in addition to Bilal Coulibaly (leg), who is set to miss another game.

A late addition to the Wizards’ injury report, George joins Bilal Coulibaly (leg) as starters who will not be available on Friday. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson are potential replacements for George, and both players will have higher fantasy ceilings regardless of who receives the nod.

George’s late addition to the injury report doesn’t bode well for his availability on Friday night. If he’s unable to go, Bub Carrington and rookie Tre Johnson are good candidates to replace him in the starting lineup, and both players should see an uptick in playing time.

George may not be an explosive scorer, but his ability to put up numbers in various categories makes him an excellent asset in category leagues. He recorded a complete line against the Knicks, including three steals and three three-pointers, while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Will George remain a third-round player in 12-team leagues for the entire season? We’ll see. But there’s no denying he has the skill set to be a high-value player in fantasy basketball.

George, who’s rostered in 58 percent of Yahoo! leagues, continues to exceed expectations regarding fantasy value. He’s ranked within the top-50 in nine-cat formats, and the second-year wing still hasn’t hit his ceiling. George is shooting 62.5 percent from the foul line and averaging 3.3 turnovers per game, negatively impacting his nine-cat value. However, even for those who may be skeptical about George’s ability to sustain this production over 82 games, he’ll continue to figure prominently in the Wizards’ rotation. Hop onto the bandwagon before it’s too late.

This young Wizards team has been one of the more intriguing teams in the first week of the season. Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr have appeared to take major leaps forward, and the team will get Bilal Coulibaly back from injury on Thursday. They are unlikely to compete this season, but they are building towards a promising future.

George has been on a roll to begin the season, much to the delight of those who believed he could break out in fantasy basketball. He’s scored 20 points or more in three of Washington’s first four games, except Sunday’s foul-plagued loss to the Hornets. George, who recorded a complete stat line on Tuesday, is rostered in 51 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Given his role and the production, that percentage is too low.

George is blossoming into a fantasy star before our eyes. His first game of the regular season was good, but this was another level of production, which included new career-highs for points, rebounds and three-pointers against a tough Dallas defense. George is on a team that is loaded with young talent, but he is ascending into a star faster than the rest. Rostered in just 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, George is a must-add at this point.

George is a player many pinpointed as a fantasy breakout candidate this season, and with good reason. The second-year guard had a productive night in Milwaukee, providing the expected three-pointers and defensive stats. All that was missing were the assists, but that isn’t anything to lose sleep over. George will remain in the starting lineup as long as Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) is out, and Kyshawn may retain the role if he can build on Wednesday’s performance.

With Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) still sidelined, this is the quintet many expected to start Washington’s season opener. George’s inclusion in the starting five increases his chances of achieving fantasy relevance, and he has top-100 potential due to his perimeter shooting ability and defensive production. McCollum and Middleton open the season as starters, but they may be players to watch in the lead-up to the February trade deadline with the Wizards rebuilding.

Some have targeted George as a potential fantasy breakout candidate, and with good reason. With Bilal Coulibaly (thumb) unavailable to begin the regular season, George should have the runway to start fast when the regular season begins next week. The second-year wing looked sharp in Thursday’s preseason finale, recording a complete stat line. Does George merit being selected with a top-100 pick in standard leagues? Not necessarily, but those willing to reach cannot be blamed for doing so.

The Wizards are the last NBA team to open their preseason schedule, and they’ll do so without an expected starter. Bilal Coulibaly remains out after undergoing thumb surgery a few weeks before the start of training camp, opening up a spot in the starting five. George and Middleton will start at the forward spots on Sunday, with the former potentially being the player more likely to move to the bench once Coulibaly returns. Even if he comes off the bench when the regular season begins, playing time will not be an issue for George on the rebuilding Wizards.

George played 32 of a possible 40 minutes on Monday while leading Canada to its third win in as many games at FIBA AmeriCup in Nicaragua. The Wizards wing was solid on both ends of the floor, and this tournament could serve as a springboard into his second NBA season. As a rookie, George started 38 of the 68 games he played, averaging 8.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers. Even with Washington having Khris Middleton on the roster and adding CJ McCollum via trade, young players like George will have every opportunity to perform as the franchise rebuilds. While he did finish the 2024-25 season ranked outside the top-200, George had added value during the fantasy playoff portion of the schedule.

George has been removed from the injury report after missing seven games with a sprained ankle. His availability impacts Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson the most, as one will likely head to the bench. Champagnie can still provide solid value if asked to take on a reserve role; that isn’t the case for Johnson.

George and Middleton will remain sidelined, with the former missing a fifth-straight game and the latter three straight. Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson have moved into the starting lineup, with the former offering a safer fantasy floor. Due to the absences, both players are worth streaming in deep leagues.

George sustained his ankle injury in Monday’s matchup with Toronto, and it will cost him a second straight game. Middleton’s continued absence isn’t a surprise, given the veteran’s recent injury history. While both players are sidelined, Justin Champagnie should see a substantial uptick in playing time.

George injured his left ankle during the first quarter of Monday’s game, exiting after two minutes of action. His departure frees up additional minutes for Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson, with the former offering a higher fantasy ceiling if George misses time.
