Coulibaly (finger) has been ruled out of Monday's preseason game versus the Nets. Coulibaly is dealing with a left finger sprain, though he is not likely to miss time during the regular season. The 20-year-old's last chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against the Knicks.
Coulibaly posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 24 minutes during Sunday's 125-98 preseason loss to the Raptors. With Malcolm Brogdon (hand) unavailable, Coulibaly drew the start at shooting guard over Corey Kispert. Coulibaly's rookie season was a mixed bag, but he showed promise. Given the Wizards aren't expected to compete for a playoff spot this season, Coulibaly should get plenty of developmental minutes even if he struggles out of the gate in Year 2.
Coulibaly notched 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds across 23 minutes in France's 70-65 exhibition loss to Germany on Monday. Coulibaly tied Nicolas Batum with a team-high 11 points in France's Olympic preparation game loss Monday. The 19-year-old missed the Wizards' last 15 games due to a right wrist injury, but he seems to be good to go for training camp as he plays for his home country in the offseason. Coulibaly averaged 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks across 27.2 minutes in 63 regular-season games last season.
The Wizards announced Monday that Coulibaly will miss the remainder of the season due to a right wrist fracture. Coulibaly missed Sunday's 130-104 loss to the Celtics with what the Wizards had listed as a right wrist sprain, but follow-up tests apparently revealed a more serious injury. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft will ultimately miss the final 15 games of the 2023-24, finishing his rookie campaign with averages of 8.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks in 27.2 minutes per contest over 63 appearances (15 starts) on 43.5 percent shooting from the field. The 19-year-old wing remains a raw prospect, and his efficiency progressively worsened throughout the course of the campaign as he took on added volume, but he has all the tools and a strong foundation to be a valuable wing in the league. Look for him to push for a regular 30-plus-minute role with Washington in 2024-25.
Coulibaly (wrist) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets. Coulibaly is slated to miss a second straight game due to a right wrist contusion and will be joined by Deni Avdija (knee), Marvin Bagley (back), Tyus Jones (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) on the sidelines. Given all the absences, Jules Bernard, Johnny Davis, Jared Butler, Patrick Baldwin and Anthony Gill should all remain in Washington's rotation for at least one more game.
Coulibaly (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. Coulibaly and Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) have been downgraded from questionable to out and will join Landry Shamet (calf), Deni Avdija (knee) and Marvin Bagley (back) as inactive. Given all the absences, Patrick Baldwin, Jared Butler, Eugene Omoruyi and Johnny Davis are all candidates for increased roles.
Coulibaly is questionable to play Sunday versus Boston due to a right wrist sprain. Coulibaly hasn't missed a game since March 1, but his status will need to be monitored in advance of Sunday's 6 p.m. ET tipoff in the second leg of a back-to-back set for the Wizards. The rookie extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to six in Saturday's 127-98 loss to Chicago, finishing with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes.
Coulibaly racked up 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-98 loss to the Bulls. Coulibaly notched his fifth consecutive game with double-digit points, marking his third such streak of the season. He has limped to just 32.0 percent shooting on 1.6 threes per game over that span, however, and the 19-year-old continues to lack a true scoring niche to rely on.
Coulibaly supplied 11 points (3-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 loss to Memphis. Coulibaly produced on both ends of the floor, albeit with some poor shooting thrown in. He remains a raw talent, especially on the offensive end. It makes sense for the Wizards to hand him a sizeable role down the stretch, making him worth a look in standard leagues.
