“I want to be a good two-way player, a really good two-way player, one of the best in the league. I think I got the tools for it. I think I’m solid defensively, and offensively, still getting better. I’m still getting better every day. So yeah, I just want to be a really complete guard that can guard defensively and get buckets offensively.”
The Wizards have downgraded Justin Champagnie (right knee contusion), Bilal Coulibaly (right retrocalcaneal bursitis) and Tre Johnson (right foot sprain) to questionable for Sunday’s game against Brooklyn. Tristan Vukcevic (right knee contusion) is also questionable.

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.

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.
