Coulibaly ended with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers. Following a promising start to the season in his first nine games, Coulibaly is beginning to struggle a bit lately. Over his last eight games, Coulibaly is averaging 9.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting just 39.1 percent from the field during this period. The 20-year-old former No. 7 overall pick is still playing a prominent role in Washington's rotation, however, averaging 35.5 minutes per game during this time. Despite the current cold spell, his disruptive defense and ability to contribute across the board should help him maintain significant minutes for the Wizards moving ahead.

Bilal Coulibaly Latest News
Continues to struggle in loss
Coulibaly ended with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers. Following a promising start to the season in his first nine games, Coulibaly is beginning to struggle a bit lately. Over his last eight games, Coulibaly is averaging 9.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting just 39.1 percent from the field during this period. The 20-year-old former No. 7 overall pick is still playing a prominent role in Washington's rotation, however, averaging 35.5 minutes per game during this time. Despite the current cold spell, his disruptive defense and ability to contribute across the board should help him maintain significant minutes for the Wizards moving ahead.
Fills stat sheet in loss
Coulibaly finished Sunday's 115-103 loss to the Pacers with 17 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes. This was a terrific showing for Coulibaly, as his breakout season continues. With 14 regular-season games under his belt, he's averaging 14.3 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 blocks, 1.3 steals and 1.1 three-pointers. His ability to contribute to every category has made him a valuable fantasy asset.
Won't be limited Friday
Coach Brian Keefe said that Coulibaly (head) will not operate under a minutes restriction in Friday's matchup against the Celtics, NBA reporter Bob Manning reports. Coulibaly missed Monday's loss to the Knicks with a head injury, though he will return to game action and is expected to shoulder his normal workload Friday. In his last five outings, the 20-year-old forward has averaged 12.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 57.8 percent from the floor across 34.8 minutes per game.
Good to go against Boston
Coulibaly (head) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Celtics. Coulibaly will return to action Friday after missing Washington's previous outing with a head injury. The second-year forward is averaging 14.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals in 34.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
Returns to practice
Coulibaly (head) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports. Coulibaly missed Washington's previous contest due to a head injury. However, the 20-year-old forward's full participation in practice is a good sign of his availability for Friday's matchup with Boston.
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.
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.
Doesn't return Sunday
Coulibality left Sunday's game against the Pistons early after taking an elbow to the face and didn't return, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. Coulibaly exited Sunday's game in the fourth quarter and head coach Brian Keefe said postgame that he was just being checked as a precaution after taking an elbow to the face. Coulibaly finished Sunday's contest with 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and three steals in 26 minutes of action. Although Coulibaly wasn't able to return to the game, it doesn't seem like he is in jeopardy of missing subsequent contests.
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.
