Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Listed as available Saturday
Cooper (ankle/foot) is available for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Cooper has appeared in 19 straight games for Washington, but he's played single-digit minutes in two of his past four appearances. With the Wizards' backcourt healthy, Cooper's role is likely to be limited Saturday.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Iffy for Saturday
Cooper is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Celtics due to a right ankle and foot sprain.
After appearing in each of Washington's last 19 contests, Cooper could be at risk of missing Saturday's contest due to the lower-body injury. The two-way player has handled a muted role when Trae Young has been available for the Wizards, logging no more than 10 minutes in any of Young's first three appearances with Washington.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Erupts for 21 points
Cooper ended Monday's 123-118 loss to Houston with 21 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 17 minutes.
Cooper erupted for a season-high 21 points in the loss, giving the coaching staff something to think about. The Wizards will be shorthanded Tuesday against Orlando, which could give Cooper another extended look, but it's worth mentioning that Trae Young (knee) is targeting a return Thursday against Utah.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Hanging onto consistent role
Cooper ended Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Hornets with nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 22 minutes.
Although he mostly played for the G League's Capital City Go-Go during the first half of the campaign, Cooper is carving out a solid role for the parent club. Over his last seven appearances, Cooper has averaged 12.3 points, 4.4 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers in 25.8 minutes per game.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Plays well off bench
Cooper finished Wednesday's 138-113 loss to the Cavaliers with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 24 minutes.
Cooper continues to see opportunities on a Washington team that has been hammered by injuries. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 9.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 21.6 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Pops for 14 off bench Saturday
Cooper had 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-113 loss to the Nets.
One game after scoring a career-high 18 points against the Pistons, Cooper came through with another strong performance from the second unit for the shorthanded Wizards. The second-year guard has played at least 13 minutes in five straight games, but his role will shrink once the likes of Kyshawn George (knee) and Tre Johnson (ankle) are cleared to return.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Shines off bench
Cooper accumulated 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 win over the Pistons.
Cooper logged a season-high 34 minutes on a night in which the Wizards were thin across the board. He needed only 12 attempts from the field to tack on 18 points, marking the first time in nine games that he's scored in double figures. This kind of role isn't expected to last for Cooper, who will soon sit behind the likes of Tre Johnson (ankle) and D'Angelo Russell (illness/recently traded).

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Available for Friday
Cooper (calf) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Cooper will be returning after four straight games on the shelf. Prior to his injury, Cooper was unable to break through Washington's rotation.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Out again
Cooper (calf) won't play in Saturday's game against Atlanta.
Cooper has been ruled out for a fourth straight game. The 24-year-old guard doesn't possess a rotation spot, so his absence has minimal impact.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Still sidelined
Cooper (calf) won't play in Thursday's game against Boston.
Cooper will miss a third consecutive contest due to a strained right calf. The 24-year-old guard has exclusively played in garbage time this season, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Hawks.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Another absence coming
Cooper (calf) will not play Tuesday against the 76ers.
Cooper will miss a second straight game Tuesday. He hasn't been a part of Washington's rotation, so his absence doesn't have many fantasy implications.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Won't play Monday
Cooper has been ruled out for Monday's game versus Milwaukee due to a right calf strain.
Cooper is a negligible part of the rotation in Washington, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues. His next chance to play will come Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Rare appearance in rare win
Cooper ended with no counting stats across three minutes during Tuesday's 132-113 win over the Hawks.
The two-way player saw the court for just the third time this season, as the Wizards won for just the second time in the first 17 games. Although Washington is likely going to be prioritizing its youth, it doesn't appear as though Cooper is high on the priority list right now, making him a non-factor in all formats.

Wizards' Sharife Cooper: Inks two-way deal with Washington
The Wizards signed Cooper to a two-way contract Friday.
Cooper hasn't played in the NBA since the 2021-22 season after he was selected in the second round of the draft. He rarely saw the floor during his rookie campaign, playing 3.0 minutes across 13 appearances. He'll try to make an impression with his new squad on a two-way deal while trying to crack the rotation in a crowded backcourt headlined by CJ McCollum, Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore.

Cavaliers' Sharife Cooper: Contract expires
Cooper became a free agent his 10-day deal with the Cavaliers expired Thursday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Cooper didn't make any appearances for the Cavaliers over the course of his 10-day contract. Unless the Cavaliers opt to re-sign him or he finds an opportunity with another NBA team, Cooper is likely to rejoin the G League's Cleveland Charge.

Cavaliers' Sharife Cooper: Rejoins parent club
The Cavaliers recalled Cooper from the G League's Cleveland Charge on Sunday.

Cavaliers' Sharife Cooper: Inks 10-day deal with Cleveland
Cooper signed a 10-day deal with the Cavaliers on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
A 2021 second-round pick by Atlanta, Cooper hasn't appeared in an NBA game since his rookie campaign, when he made 13 appearances for the Hawks. He has spent the last two seasons with the G League's Cleveland Charge and averaged 18.1 points on 45.3 percent shooting across 34 appearances for the club this season. Outside of Ty Jerome (ankle), Cleveland's backcourt is healthy, so Cooper won't be guaranteed playing time.

Sharife Cooper: Cut by Cleveland
Cooper was waived by the Cavaliers on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Cooper was unable to prove he belongs on the NBA roster, so he'll head to waivers. The Auburn product figures to spend the majority of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League with the Cleveland Charge.

Cavaliers' Sharife Cooper: Signs with Cleveland
Cooper signed a contract with the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Cooper spent the second half of the 2022-23 campaign with the G League's Cleveland Charge, and he'll now join the Cavaliers ahead of the 2023-24 season. He'll presumably have the chance to compete for a roster spot during camp, but it's certainly possible he winds up back in the G League once the season gets underway.

Cavaliers' Sharife Cooper: Goes off for 27 points
Cooper logged 27 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3PT, 9-11 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 27 minutes of Friday's 101-97 Summer League win over Brooklyn.
Cooper made 13 brief appearances for the Hawks back in the 2021-22 season before joining the Charge in the G League last season, averaging 22.5 points and 9.0 assists. Cooper's chances of making the Cavaliers are slim after they added Ty Jerome to an already stacked backcourt that includes Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio and Caris LeVert, but Cooper certainly gave them something to think about Friday.
