Wizards' Corey Kispert: Getting thumb examined
Rotowire
Kispert traveled to Washington on Monday to get his sprained left thumb examined by team doctors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Kispert suffered the injury during the Wizards' win over the Nuggets on Saturday. He was already ruled out for Monday's bout against Portland, and it appears the injury may be severe enough to warrant a multi-game absence. An update from the Wizards regarding Kispert's thumb should be announced once he's undergone further tests.

Rotowire
Kispert has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's game against the Nuggets due to a left thumb sprain.
Kispert checked out of the game with 5:01 remaining in the third quarter before the Wizards ruled him out shortly thereafter. Kispert will likely undergo further testing after the game, and he could be at risk of missing the Wizards' next game Monday versus the Trail Blazers.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Productive in win
Rotowire
Kispert finished Thursday's 129-125 win over the Pistons with 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 28 minutes.
With Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) likely done for the season, Kispert could pick up some steam going forward as a fantasy asset. His value has been mostly limited to deeper formats in recent games, as he holds averages of 11.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 25.3 minutes over his last five outings.

Rotowire
Kispert tallied 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block in 22 minutes in Monday's 119-104 loss to the Raptors.
Kispert scored in double figures for the second consecutive game, draining three three-pointers Monday. The 26-year-old has gotten consistent minutes off the bench all season but could see more of an uptick in usage with several contributors banged up. In his last 15 games, Kispert is averaging 13.4 points and shooting an impressive 43.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Kispert might not be the flashiest player, but he's a reliable option for fantasy managers who need points and three-point statistics from a bench player. The former first-round pick out of Gonzaga is averaging 14.3 points per game while shooting 45.6 percent from three-point range since the beginning of February.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Drains four threes Friday
Rotowire
Kispert contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Friday's 104-101 loss to Milwaukee.
If there's one thing Kispert knows how to do, it's put the ball in the basket, and the veteran forward once again posted a solid stat line Friday. Despite coming off the bench, Kispert has scored in double digits in each of his last seven appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 three-pointers made over that stretch. He's also making 47.9 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc over that seven-game span.

Rotowire
Kispert finished with 21 points (8-10 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and four rebounds over 27 minutes in Wednesday's 134-130 overtime loss to Indiana.
Kispert was red-hot off the Wizards bench in Wednesday's extended contest, leading all bench players in scoring and threes made while nearly shooting a perfect mark from the field in a losing effort. Kispert, who was one of two Washington players with five or more threes, matched a season high in shots made from deep while posting his fifth outing of the year with 20 or more points.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Another double-digit scoring output
Rotowire
Kispert contributed 13 points (6-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 125-111 loss to the Hawks.
Kispert continued to provide instant offense off Washington's bench Saturday, reaching double-digit scoring figures for the 10th time in his last 14 outings. However, the 25-year-old has averaged 11.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.7 threes in 27.2 minutes during that time. Therefore, his fantasy appeal remains strictly tied to points and triples in category-based leagues.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Racks up 25 points off bench
Rotowire
Kispert tallied 25 points (9-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 124-114 win over the Hornets.
Kispert did most of his damage in the first half with 21 of his 25 points coming over the first two quarters of Monday's win. He cooled off in the second half, but he finished the game with the seocnd-best point differential (plus-20) and second-most points behind Justin Champagnie (plus-26) and Bilal Coulibaly (26), respectively. Kispert has scored in double digits in three of his last five games, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Solid scoring display
Rotowire
Kispert recorded 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and two rebounds in 30 minutes during Monday's 130-108 loss to the Mavericks.
Kispert's fantasy value is limited to what he can bring to the scoring column, but there's no question he's been putting up solid numbers in that department of late. The sharpshooting veteran has scored in double digits in five of his last seven outings, averaging 10.6 points and shooting 37 percent from the floor in that span.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Scores 15 points in loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Kispert racked up 15 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 111-88 loss to the Lakers.
Kispert remains a capable scorer off the bench for the Wizards, and it wouldn't be surprising if he generates some trade interest closer to the Feb. 6 deadline due to his ability to rack up points from a second-unit role. He's scored in double digits in seven of his last nine appearances, averaging 13.1 points per game and shooting 42.2 percent from three-point range in that span.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Hits for team-high 17 in loss
Rotowire
Kispert produced 17 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one block across 24 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 136-95 loss to Oklahoma City.
Washington's starting five had a brutal shooting night against a tough Thunder defense, and Kispert wound up leading the team in scoring as the Wizards limped to a 33.7 percent performance from the floor and a 19.6 percent (9-for-46) showing from three-point range. Kispert posted a goose egg himself Friday in Chicago, but for the most part, he's been a consistent threat off the bench since returning from an ankle injury in mid-December. Over the last 13 games, the fourth-year wing is averaging 12.8 points, 2.4 boards, 2.4 threes and 1.9 assists in 25.9 minutes a contest while shooting 42.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Stays hot with 23 more points
Rotowire
Kispert racked up 23 points (8-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 109-103 loss to the 76ers.
After scoring a season-high 23 points in Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, Kispert stayed hot Wednesday and mirrored that scoring output. The 25-year-old former first-rounder has been a mainstay in Washington's rotation lately, and he's averaging 13.5 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.5 threes in 26.6 minutes while shooting 43.1 percent from downtown over his last 11 games. Kispert should continue providing a much-needed scoring punch off the bench for the Wizards amid the absences of Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot), but his fantasy value has been mostly limited to points and threes in 2024-25 thus far.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Leads Wizards in loss
Rotowire
Kispert closed with 23 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 135-112 loss to the Rockets.
Kispert finished the blowout loss with a season-high 23 points while coming off the bench. The 25-year-old put together a solid bounce-back performance following Sunday's loss to the Pelicans, during which he scored only five points and shot 0-for-7 from beyond the arc. The sharpshooter sank four of his five three-point attempts in the first half of Tuesday's contest, and he saw extended playing time in the matchup with Kyle Kuzma missing the second half due to a right calf contusion. Kispert could be in line for extended minutes in the second half of the club's back-to-back set against the 76ers on Wednesday, especially if Kuzma, Jordan Poole (hip) or Malcolm Brogdon (foot) are sidelined.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Pops for 16 points in loss
Rotowire
Kispert registered 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 126-106 loss to the Knicks.
Kispert scored double-digits for the third straight game and the fifth time in the past six. Since returning from an ankle injury, Kispert has been a relatively consistent source of points off the bench, not unlike what he was able to do down the stretch last season. Although his role is somewhat unpredictable, he should remain relevant as long as his shot is falling.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Drills three treys in return
Rotowire
Kispert (ankle) tallied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 19 minutes Thursday in the Wizards' 123-114 win over the Hornets.
Kispert made his return to action following a five-game absence due to a sprained left ankle. Even though the Wizards remained without Kyle Kuzma (rib), Kispert didn't fill his spot in the starting five but still made an impact off the bench in a sub-20-minute reserve role. Kispert's playing time could pick up a bit as he becomes further removed from the injury, but he lacks a well-rounded fantasy profile and is best viewed as a streaming option for three-pointers.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Practices Tuesday
Rotowire
Wizards head coach Brian Keefe said that Kispert (ankle) took part in Tuesday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Washington looks to be getting healthier, as all of Kispert, Kyshawn George (ankle) and Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) returned to practice Tuesday following multi-game absences due to injuries. If Kispert gets the green light to return Thursday against the Hornets, he could have limitations after missing the past five games with a left ankle sprain.
