Rotoworld Player News

Tre Johnson

WAS Guard #12

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tre Johnson (ankle) is out for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Johnson has been out since spraining his left ankle during a January 29 win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s worth streaming until that changes.
Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Alex Sarr (ankle) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Sarr is on the injury report after playing 18 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Pistons. If he’s unable to play, the Wizards will rely more on Tristan Vukčević at the center position. Vukčević would be a risky streaming play in most fantasy leagues.
Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18

Kyshawn George (knee) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

George was limited to 18 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Pistons, and there was no injury announced beforehand. Fantasy managers certainly shouldn’t move on from George yet, but they should watch his playing time. Will Riley is one player whose opportunities will likely increase as the Wizards look to strengthen their chances of holding onto their first-round pick.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly (back) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Nets.

Coulibaly is one of three Wizards’ starters on the injury report for Saturday’s game, which is the first of two in as many days for Washington. If he’s unable to play, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins will take on added importance in the rotation. Riley is worth picking up now, as his opportunities have increased and should continue to do so.
Sharife Cooper

WAS Guard #13

Sharife Cooper tallied 18 points (8-of-12 FGs), three rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Thursday’s win over the Pistons.

Cooper was one of the reserves who benefited from the Wizards’ apparent decision to cut the playing time of a few of their starters. Not only did he log a career-high 34 minutes, but Cooper hit double figures for the first time as an NBA player. There’s no need for fantasy managers to add him, but don’t be surprised if he’s logging extended minutes after the All-Star break as Washington looks to avoid losing its top-8 protected lottery pick.
Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley finished Thursday’s win over the Pistons with 20 points (9-of-14 FGs, 0-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers.

If how Wizards head coach Brian Keefe handled the playing time in Thursday’s win is an indication of what’s to come, Riley will be an attractive “silly season” option. While starters Alex Sarr (12/6/1/0/1 with two three-pointers) and Kyshawn George (8/3/3 with one three-pointer) were limited to 18 minutes, the rookie out of Illinois played 29 off the bench. And he was productive, enjoying one of his best performances of the season. Washington plays its last game of Week 16 on Saturday against the Nets.
Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

Tristan Vukčević (hamstring) is not on the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Pistons.

Vukčević has been out for nearly a month with a hamstring injury. With the Wizards trading Marvin Bagley III and new addition Anthony Davis out due to injury, Vukčević will likely slide into the rotation. There’s no need to roster him in fantasy leagues, but keep an eye on the third-year center. As long as he doesn’t hit his 50-game limit as a two-way player, there may be times later in the season when Vukčević plays quality minutes.
AJ Johnson

WAS Guard #4

AJ Johnson has been traded to the Mavericks.

The 2024 first-round pick was traded to Washington during his rookie year after being drafted by Milwaukee. He’ll be on the move once again and try to make things work in Dallas. The Mavs seem to be shifting towards a tank for this season, so Johnson could play big minutes down the stretch of this year, which could lead to some fun production during silly season.
Danté Exum

WAS Guard #0

Danté Exum has been traded to the Wizards as part of the Anthony Davis trade.

Exum was ruled out for the rest of the season in November, and he’s on an expiring deal. Exum was included to make the deal work, but he may not ever suit up for Washington. He’ll enter free agency next summer.
D'Angelo Russell

WAS Guard #5

D’Angelo Russell has been traded to the Wizards as part of an eight-player trade.

Russell has been out of the rotation for most of the season in Dallas, and now he’ll join the rebuilding Wizards. It is unlikely that he is given any meaningful minutes, unless the Wizards feel he isn’t going to help them win too many games. Russell could certainly be a buyout candidate, which may be the only path for him to make an impact this season.
