• Wizards' Corey Kispert: Records three steals

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Kispert contributed 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 34 minutes during Monday's 107-92 loss to the Rockets. Kispert recorded a season-high mark of three steals in the loss. Despite the return of Kyle Kuzma, Kispert still saw a healthy workload for the Wizards which is a good sign for his value going forward. The bad news is that he's still ice-cold from beyond the arc, as he's hitting 25.0 percent of his attempts through nine appearances.

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Kispert ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors. After averaging 15.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 32.3 minutes over a three-game stretch, Kispert has totaled eight points (3-17 FG), eight rebounds and two assists in 60 minutes over his past two games. With Kyle Kuzma (groin) sidelined, there are more opportunities for Kispert, but Washington's youngsters -- Carlton Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr -- have stolen the show recently.

• Wizards' Corey Kispert: Stands out off bench Monday

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Kispert supplied 21 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Monday's 121-119 win over the Hawks. Kispert was one of the Wizards' best players Monday despite coming off the bench, and he's emerging as more than just a reliable three-point shooter with an expanded role in the second unit. Kispert has scored in double digits in his last two games, and he could have a bigger role in the short-term picture if Kyle Kuzma (groin) is forced to miss time after leaving Monday's game early.

• Wizards' Corey Kispert: Available to play

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Kispert (back) will be available to play in Thursday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. Kispert missed Friday's preseason finale against the Knicks due to lower back stiffness, though it was likely a precaution. Fresh off signing a four-year, $54 million extension, Kispert is expected to be a key contributor for the Wizards during the 2024-25 season, but it's unclear if he'll be a regular starter. Kispert was competing with Bilal Coulibaly for the starting shooting guard spot during the preseason.

  23D ago • By RotoWire

  Kispert (back) and the Wizards agreed to a four-year, $54 million extension Monday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports. Kispert has shown improvements in each of his first three seasons in the NBA and is now under a very team-friendly deal for the foreseeable future. He has been a part-time starter to begin his career and is competing with second-year wing Bilal Coulibaly for a starting spot in Washington's backcourt this season. Kispert dealt with minor back stiffness to end the preseason, but he's expected to be fine for the regular season.
