Washington Wizards rookie Bilal Coulibaly will miss the remainder of the regular season due to a right wrist fracture, as announced by the team on Monday. The injury occurred following a fall during Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. With 14 games left in the season and a record of 11-57, the Wizards have already been eliminated from the Eastern Conference's play-in race.
The team emphasized that they are taking a cautious approach to Coulibaly's injury to ensure his full recovery. As the No. 7 pick in the 2023 NBA draft, Coulibaly has been a significant contributor, averaging 8.4 points, along with nearly one steal and block per game, in 27.2 minutes of play this season.
