Sharife Cooper

Cooper recorded his first 20-point game as an NBA player Monday, finishing with 21 points (8-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three three-pointers, three assists, and two rebounds with zero turnovers — a sharp contrast to the 22 points he'd managed across his prior four appearances combined.

The timing is tricky though — Trae Young is expected to make his Wizards debut Thursday on a 17-20 minute limit, and Bub Carrington's 28-minute, 11-point performance suggests he's the one most likely to absorb the remaining minutes.

Cooper finished with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting in Thursday's win over the Pistons. He added three rebounds, five assists, one steal and two three-pointers across a career-high 34 minutes off the bench.

The 18-point performance marked the first time Cooper has scored in double figures as an NBA player. The career-high minutes came as the Wizards reduced playing time for several starters. Cooper's shooting efficiency stood out with his 8-of-12 conversion rate while logging extended opportunity.

Sharife Cooper has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Cooper remains off the fantasy radar when he is healthy.

Sharife Cooper (calf) will be out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Cooper is going to remain out for another game while he continues to recover from a calf injury. It's unclear when he will be back in the lineup for Washington, but his absence will continue to have a minimal impact for the time being.

A calf injury will force Sharife Cooper to miss his second consecutive contest when the Wizards face the 76ers on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

The guard has not been a part of the regular rotation in Washington this season, so his unavailability is unlikely to have a noticeable impact on fantasy lineups.
