Bilal Coulibaly Out for Fifth Straight Game with Back Injury

Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly (back) will miss Saturday's game against Charlotte, marking his fifth consecutive absence. This is a concerning sign as he's been ruled out a day in advance, having previously carried a questionable tag for Thursday's game versus Denver. With Coulibaly sidelined, the Wizards could turn to Will Riley, Justin Champagnie, and Jamir Watkins to soak up some minutes, impacting the team's rotation.
