Wizards at Nets: Money on the Floor, February 7, 2026
Davis was traded from Dallas to Washington on Wednesday, with the Wizards looking to accelerate their rebuild. The star big man hasn't played since Jan. 8 due to ligament damage in his left hand, and while it was reported his injury wouldn't require surgery, he isn't expected to suit up for Washington until the 2026-27 campaign. He'll aim to return to 100 percent by training camp and help the Wizards get back into the playoff picture alongside Trae Young (knee / quadriceps), who holds a player option for 2026-27.
The Wizards are taking a cautious approach with their new acquisition as he deals with MCL and quadriceps injuries in his right knee. The timeline for a return likely means Young won't make his team debut for at least another month. With Young sidelined, Tre Johnson and Bub Carrington should continue to push for minutes near the 30s.
The Wizards are sitting multiple players Saturday for the first leg of this back-to-back set. The franchise has been cautious with all their key players in recent weeks, and that's a trend that is likely to continue. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Will Riley could all see more run as a result Saturday.
Johnson will be sidelined for a fifth straight game and remains without a target date to return. He's questionable at best to return Sunday against the Heat.
Coulibaly is dealing with lower-back soreness that will prevent him from playing Saturday, and he'll work toward being available for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday against the Heat. The Wizards have multiple players sidelined due to injuries or having being recently acquired before the trade deadline, so Bub Carrington, Sharify Cooper, Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and others are slated for increased roles against Brooklyn.
Wednesday's trade centered on Anthony Davis (finger) still isn't official, so Hardy is unable to make his Wizards debut. His next opportunity to do so arrives Sunday against the Heat.
Out
D. Russell
Wednesday's Anthony Davis (finger) trade is still in the pending process, which means Russell isn't ready to make his Wizards debut. His next chance to do so comes Sunday against Miami.
A "venous condition" is any disorder that affects the veins, but we'll likely have more clarity on precisely what Whitmore is dealing with at a later date. Whitmore will end his 2025-26 season with averages of 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds per game on 46 / 29 / 74 shooting splits.
Out For Season
D. Exum
Exum is out for the campaign after undergoing season-ending knee surgery back in November. Essentially, he was thrown in for salary-matching purposes. Exum will be a free agent this coming offseason.
George will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to a right knee contusion. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Miami. The Wizards will be extremely shorthanded against Brooklyn, meaning Will Riley, Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper should see increased playing time.
