Bilal Coulibaly: When I was in Washington from here and I put my gas in it was around 120 dollars I would say a full tank and here it's like 73 dollars now that I live in Virginia it's crazy the difference, it's crazy. Q: And the first time you filled up your tank , weren't you shocked? Coulibaly: Like, I was shocked, I was shocked, you know. I didn't even want to drive anymore. I thought to myself, "But that's impossible!" I was shocked.
Greg Finberg: Alex Sarr (left big toe capsulitis) is available for tonight’s game vs. Detroit. Bilal Coulibaly (right retrocalcaneal bursitis) is out.
Poole smiled when he was told about George’s comments, as well as hearing what Coulibaly and Sarr said about what Poole meant to them. “I know what these guys are capable of, and I wish I had a little bit more time to interact with them and play with them a little bit more,” Poole said. “But they’re all talented, and they all work hard. So I knew what they’re capable of, and it’s kind of good to see a lot of these guys in their second year kind of flourish and grow into their personalities.”
Josh Robbins: Final: Jazz 122, Wizards 112 Young: 12 pts., 2 rebs., 6 assts. Reese: 18 pts., 20 rebs., 2 assts. T. Johnson: 15 pts., 8 rebs., 2 assts. Coulibaly: 17 pts., 3 rebs., 2 assts.

But Young posted on X: “Don’t expect me to get ejected too many more times D.C.,” adding a laughing emoji. “… But I’m definitely bringing that energy & competitiveness when I’m back for my brothers!” Young’s action made a positive impression on teammates. “He’s been really involved since he got here on the court, off the court, at practice, when we take the plane, when we’re in different cities and all that,” wing/forward Bilal Coulibaly said. “He’s been really, really involved in it. Yeah, he just showed everybody today. So, that’s great.”
Washington Wizards: Update: Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr, and Tristan Vukcevic have been upgraded to available for tonight's game. Anthony Gill (right hand contusion) is now out.
The Wizards envision a frontcourt of Anthony Davis, Alex Sarr and Bilal Coulibaly as being one of the best defensive frontcourts in the league. I'm told this deal "came out of left field," and one of the reasons the Wizards are said to be ecstatic is the the outgoing first-round picks have relatively little value. The 2026 first-round pick will be Oklahoma City's own first-round pick, meaning it likely will be 30th in the draft order. The 2030 first-round pick came from the original Chris Paul-for-Jordan Poole trade with Golden State a few years ago, and it will convey only if it falls from 21 to 30.
Shams Charania: The Wizards are acquiring a future Hall of Fame big man in Davis, one of the top 75 greatest players, to add to their core of Trae Young, Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George, Tre Johnson and Bilal Coulibaly. Dallas receives long-term assets and opens significant flexibility to build around Cooper Flagg.

Is there still a possibility that he can play this season? Dawkins: “Yeah, we’d like to see him with our young guys. I think that’s important.” What importance does that have for the big picture? Dawkins: “It’s important because Trae has a decision to make.” “He’s got the power of choice as a free agent. So you want to make sure that he’s comfortable playing with the young guys, to have the opportunity to play with Alex and to play with Bilal [Coulibaly] and see when they move and how they fit positionally. We have a lot of questions on our team and how we play moving forward. So you want to see that before you make that decision in July.”
Josh Robbins: The Wizards' injury report for their game Saturday in Charlotte has Marvin Bagley III (thoracic strain), Bilal Coulibaly (lower back strain), AJ Johnson (illness), Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring strain), Cam Whitmore (DVT) and Trae Young (MCL sprain/quad contusion) as OUT. Khris Middleton (left foot soreness) is QUESTIONABLE.
