Wizards' Jonas Valanciunas: Produces off bench Monday
Valanciunas notched 18 points (8-11 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 18 minutes during Monday's 134-106 loss to the Knicks.
Alex Sarr continues to struggle on offense, but since the Wizards are going through a rebuilding process, there's not a realistic scenario in which Valanciunas will replace Sarr at center any time soon. The veteran big man is averaging 11.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 blocks per game in his last six outings off the bench.

Wizards' Carlton Carrington: Co-leads Washington in scoring
Carrington finished Monday's 134-106 loss to the Knicks with 18 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes.
Carrington was one of three Washington players who scored 18 points in this thumping loss to the Knicks, and the rookie out of Pittsburgh continues to play at a high level while standing out in his first-year class. Carrington has been ever-present in the Wizards' starting lineup in November, averaging 10.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game across nine contests.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Limited to 19 minutes Monday
Brogdon racked up seven points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 134-106 loss to the Knicks.
With Bilal Coulibaly (head) unavailable, Brogdon made his first start of the season Monday but didn't have a good performance, although to be fair, the entire Wizards team looked overmatched on both ends of the court. It's unclear if Brogdon will remain in the starting lineup, but either way, he could see an expanded role if the Wizards want to enhance his trade value before the deadline.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Gets starting nod Monday
Brogdon will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Knicks.
With Bilal Coulibaly (head) ruled out, Brogdon will make his first start of the season after missing significant time due to a right thumb injury. The veteran point guard struggled in his return to game action in Sunday's loss to the Pistons, during which he posted one point (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 22 minutes off the bench.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Won't play Monday
Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.
Coulibaly will miss his first game of the season due to a head injury he sustained after taking an elbow to the mouth during Sunday's loss to the Pistons. While the second-year wing is sidelined, the good news is he appears to have avoided a concussion and will have multiple days to rest and recover before attempting to suit up Friday versus Boston. In Coulibaly's absence, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Malcolm Brogdon are candidates for increased roles, while Jared Butler and Johnny Davis could enter the rotation as well.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Still not ready for game action
Vukcevic has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a left knee contusion, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Vukcevic has yet to play in the NBA or G League this season, but Monday marks the first time he's shown up on the injury report. On Sunday, head coach Brian Keefe told Shankar that Vukcevic will need to ramp up his conditioning before making his debut, and the injury likely doesn't help the big man's chances of seeing live action soon.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Chance to play Monday
Coulibaly is questionable for Monday's game against the Knicks due to a head injury.
Coulibaly left Sunday's loss to the Pistons early after taking an elbow to the mouth, so it's not surprising to see him on the injury report for Monday. However, the second-year wing appears to have avoided a concussion and will have a chance to suit up Monday. If Coulibaly doesn't play, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Malcolm Brogdon would be candidates for increased roles.

Wizards' Malcolm Brogdon: Empty line in season debut
Brogdon (thumb) recorded one point (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 22 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Pistons.
The 31-year-old guard made his season debut Sunday after missing the Wizards' first 11 games while completing his recovery from the surgery he underwent on his right thumb in early October. Though he saw a decent amount of minutes Sunday and has served as a starter for most of his career, Brogdon is unlikely to see his playing time ramp up dramatically on a 2-10 Wizards squad that is expected to prioritize younger guards such as Carlton Carrington, Jordan Poole and Kyshawn George. Brogdon could be a candidate to rest in the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday in New York, though because he's not returning from a lower-body injury that might affect him from a stamina standpoint, the Wizards may feel comfortable enough keeping him active in a reserve role.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Leaves early with facial injury
Coulibality left Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Pistons early after taking an elbow to the mouth and didn't return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Coulibaly exited in the fourth quarter, and head coach Brian Keefe said postgame that the second-year wing was just being checked as a precaution after taking an elbow to the face. He finished Sunday's contest with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes. Though Coulibaly wasn't able to return to the game, his status for Monday's game against the Knicks doesn't look to be in major jeopardy.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Chips in 22 points vs. Detroit
Poole logged 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and one rebound over 27 minutes in Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Pistons.
Poole has scored 22 points in consecutive games, and he has scored at least 20 points in nine of 12 regular-season games to start the 2024-25 campaign. He's been efficient from three-point range as of late, going 13-for-23 over his last three outings. Poole is averaging 22.2 points, 4.6 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals over 30.2 minutes per game this season.

Wizards' Jonas Valanciunas: Logs third double-double Sunday
Valanciunas supplied 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 20 minutes in Sunday's 124-104 loss to the Pistons.
Valanciunas registered his third double-double of the 2024-25 regular season Sunday, two of which have come over his last three outings. Valanciunas has provided some decent output as the first big man off the Wizards' bench behind 2024 No. 2 overall pick Alex Sarr. Valanciunas is averaging 12.2 points on 54.8 percent shooting, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 20.3 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Efficient 22 points Sunday
Kuzma ended Sunday's 124-104 loss to Detroit with 22 points (10-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes.
Kuzma and Jordan Poole co-led the Wizards in scoring Sunday, with the former registering his third 20-point game of the 2024-25 regular season. In his four outings since returning from a five-game absence due to a groin injury, Kuzma has averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 26.9 minutes per game.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Goes back to locker room
Coulibaly (knee) went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Pistons, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Coulibaly appears to be dealing with a knee injury as he was spotted with tape on his right knee while heading into the locker room, per Bijan Todd of Monumental Sports Network. Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George are candidates to see more minutes for the rest of Sunday's game if Coulibaly doesn't return.
