Fantasy Impact:

Coulibaly sustained the injury while playing with the French national team during FIBA EuroBasket. He started 59 games for the Washington Wizards last season, averaging 12.3 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. With Coulibaly expected to miss the beginning of the season, Kyshawn George or Justin Champagnie could step into the starting rotation.
