Josh Robbins: The Wizards have listed Alex Sarr as out for what they've labelled as right hamstring injury management on Monday against the Warriors on the first night of a back-to-back. Also out: Anthony Davis, Kyshawn George, D'Angelo Russell, Cam Whitmore and Leaky Black.
Michael Scotto: Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George will be re-evaluated in three weeks after sustaining a partial tear of the UCL in his left elbow on March 2 against the Houston Rockets. The injury will be treated conservatively, team says.
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.

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.
Bijan Todd: FINAL: Wizards 109, Bucks 99 The Bucks were shorthanded, so Alex Sarr had a career-high 17 rebounds to go along with 16 points. Kyshawn George dropped 23-5-5. Tre Johnson exited with a sprained ankle and his status is something to monitor going forward.

This was a value move that the Wizards couldn't pass up. Young is a four-time All-Star and multiple-time league assists leader at a position of dire need. He can facilitate offense for recent draft picks in shooting guard Tre Johnson (No. 6 in 2025), big man Alex Sarr (No. 2 in 2024) and forward Kyshawn George (No. 20 in 2024). And the cost of taking on Young's $49 million player option for the 2026-27 season wasn't an issue for a team that was projected to hit the offseason with $80 million in cap space. (Washington also cleared $14 million by sending Kispert to the Hawks.) "This is pre-agency," a second East executive said. "The Wizards are using cap space in this deal that they would've had this summer."
Austin Krell: Wizards have ruled out: - CJ McCollum - Khris Middleton - Kyshawn George - Will Riley - Cam Whitmore - Sharife Cooper - Jamir Watkins Meanwhile, on Sixers' side: all of Joel Embiid, Kelly Oubre Jr., and Trendon Watford have been upgraded to PROBABLE.

Josh Robbins: Kyshawn George, who tonight will miss his fifth consecutive game because of a hip flexor strain, is doing some on-court work, Brian Keefe said. Keefe would not provide a timeline on when the team expects George to return to play.
Bijan Todd: FINAL: Wizards 116, Grizzlies 112 Without Kyshawn George, the Wizards staved off a late Memphis push thanks to eight players scoring in double-figures, led by Alex Sarr (20 points, 9 rebounds, 6 blocks!!!) Washington has won consecutive games for the first time since March.
Brown, who was locked into the game, didn’t immediately notice what happened. When he did, “I was a little bit embarrassed. And then I got mad at myself for being embarrassed at all.” “After a while, it was like, ‘Those dudes should be grateful.’” [A hair product on his head would also leave marks on Detroit Pistons player Ron Holland and Washington Wizards player Kyshawn George in the following days.] “They're lucky that I left my mark on them. I should get a thank you card: You have the residue of a champion on you. You're welcome.'"
