Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly likely out for season after hamstring strain
DETROIT — Bilal Coulibaly, one of the Washington Wizards' prized young players, will likely miss the remainder of this season because of a right hamstring strain. Team officials announced that Coulibaly will be out approximately four-to-six weeks but did not say his season is over. Since there are only four weeks and three days until the Wizards' season finale on April 13, it appears highly unlikely Coulibaly will return. Advertisement Coulibaly's hamstring will not require surgery, a team official said, and he is expected to remain with the team while he recovers. But his injury is a tough blow to a team that hoped to use the final month of the season to continue developing its youngsters. The Wizards (13-51) rely on Coulibaly to guard opponents' best perimeter playmakers and scorers. Although defense is Coulibaly's trademark, the second-year wing has made strides on offense this season, particularly with his ballhandling and passing. He's averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 59 games this season. It's a sad coincidence that Coulibaly, 20, suffered his injury on a play that demonstrated his progression into someone who can beat defenders off the dribble. On March 10 in Toronto, Coulibaly pump-faked beyond the 3-point line, drove past the Raptors' Jamison Battle and threw down a two-handed dunk. As Coulibaly hung on the rim, Battle undercut him, causing Coulibaly to fall back-first onto the court. He strained his right hamstring and bruised his right hip in the process. In the immediate aftermath, team officials were thankful Coulibaly had not sustained an injury to his head, neck or back. 'Those are always scary for a coach,' Wizards coach Brian Keefe said Tuesday night before the hamstring injury was diagnosed. 'You never want to see that for any player, your own or opposing (players). It's the guys' livelihoods. You never want to see anybody have a play like that, but unfortunately, that stuff happens in this league.' An MRI revealed the hamstring strain. Coulibaly's rookie season was cut short last March by a season-ending injury. Coulibaly fractured his right wrist during a game against Chicago, underwent surgery and recovered in time to play for France's national team during the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Wizards G Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) out 4-6 weeks
March 13 - Washington Wizards starting guard Bilal Coulibaly will be out approximately four to six weeks with a right hamstring injury sustained in the first quarter of a 119-104 loss on Monday against the Toronto Raptors. The team announced Thursday that "the injury will be treated conservatively and Coulibaly's recovery status will be updated as appropriate." Coulibaly, 20, is averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals through 59 games (all starts) in his second season with the Wizards. Drafted No. 7 overall by Indiana in 2023 and then traded to Washington, the Frenchman has career marks of 10.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 122 games (74 starts).

Bilal Coulibaly out four-to-six weeks
Michael Scotto: Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly will be out approximately 4-6 weeks with a right hamstring injury, team says. Source: Smart is a rugged, fiery personality who leaves everything out on the floor and was a former Defensive Player of the Year. He brings that grit and provides advice as well. 'I was struggling a little bit on the off-ball screens and he's been talking to me, giving me tips — how to get to the body, how to be physical without fouling,' Coulibaly said. 'He's been teaching me a lot. I mean, just putting pressure on the guys without fouling. I was fouling too much, putting both hands on the players, and he gave me a couple tips, so I'm way better now.' -via Responsible Gaming / March 11, 2025 This season, Coulibaly has more than doubled his touch-time average (3.25 seconds per game) from his rookie campaign. That has led to an increase in opportunities as a scorer and playmaker. Through 56 games, Coulibaly is producing 12.4 points and 3.5 assists a night. Further, he has upped his potential assist per-game average to 6.6 from 3.1 in his first year. 'Work a lot and just confidence [have led to that growth],' Coulibaly said echoing Relph's words. 'Confidence from my teammates, confidence from myself, coaches giving me the ball. I know I can create, so it's just me and my aggressiveness.' -via Responsible Gaming / March 11, 2025 We also have to remember that Coulibaly is also being asked to guard the opponent's top weapon on 45% of Washington's defensive possessions — a challenge he relishes. "I mean, I love it,' Coulibaly told RG. 'That's all I ask for. I'm a competitor, so playing defense against the best guys is all I need, man. It just gets me going in games too offensively, so that's how I get locked in." -via Responsible Gaming / March 11, 2025 This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Bilal Coulibaly out four-to-six weeks
