Cooper had 20 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and seven assists over 25 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 152-136 loss to the Heat.
It was the 24-year-old guard's best scoring effort since March 2, when he popped for 21 points against the Rockets. Cooper has played at least 20 minutes in five of the last seven games as he becomes a key part of the injury-depleted Wizards' second unit, averaging 11.3 points, 4.7 assists, 2.4 boards and 0.9 threes during that span.

The 31 points and five steals were both career highs for the 21st overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, as Riley led the Wizards in scoring on a wild afternoon.

Rotowire

Coulibaly didn't play in the 120-101 loss to the Lakers on Monday before subsequently returning for the 153-131 loss to Philadelphia on Wednesday. However, despite making another appearance on the injury report, the 21-year-old has the green light to suit up for his second consecutive contest.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
Sarr (toe) is out for Saturday's game against Miami.
Sarr is sidelined for a fourth consecutive contest due to a left toe issue. With Tristan Vukcevic (knee) also out Saturday, Anthony Gill should be in for a massive role at center against the Heat.

Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Champagnie (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Heat.
Champagnie wasn't included on the Wizards' initial injury report but is now in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a right knee contusion. If he's ultimately ruled out, Leaky Black and Jamir Watkins would be candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's game versus Miami.

Rotowire
Vukcevic (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against Miami.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Johnson (foot) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Miami.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) is questionable for Saturday's game against Miami.
The third-year forward continues to nurse soreness in his right heel. If Coulibaly is unable to push through this issue, the Wizards will likely lean more on Will Riley.
George (elbow) will miss the rest of the 2025-26 season, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
George has been sidelined since March 2 due to a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, and the Wizards had no incentive to rush him back to the court for the last couple of weeks. The forward appeared in 48 regular-season contests with averages of 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.1 three-pointers on 43.8 percent shooting from the field.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Makes most of limited minutes
Rotowire
Vukcevic logged 17 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 loss to the 76ers.
Vukcevic played just 11 minutes despite being in the Wizards' starting lineup and not being in foul trouble. Regardless, he connected on all but one of his field-goal attempts (including all three of his three-point tries) to finished tied with Justin Champagnie as the Wizards' third-leading scorer behind Anthony Gill (21 points) and Will Riley (18 points). Vukcevic has started in each of Washington's last three games and should retain that role for as long as Alex Sarr (toe) is sidelined.

Wizards' Anthony Gill: Productive off bench
Rotowire
Gill provided 21 points (8-9 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and six assists over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 153-131 loss to the 76ers.
Gill got a bit of an extended run in the second half of Wednesday's blowout game. He took advantage of the extra playing time to finish as the Wizards' leading scorer with a career-high 21 points and was also second in both assists and rebounds. Gill has scored in double digits in five of his last seven outings, and over that span he has averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.7 minutes per game. He'll continue to see more run in games when Alex Sarr (toe) does not play.
