Washington Wizards' Rookie Bilal Coulibaly Out for Season with Fractured Wrist

The injury to the promising rookie ends his first NBA season, sidelining him for the remaining 14 games.

Bilal Coulibaly, the Washington Wizards' rookie, will miss the rest of the NBA season due to a right wrist fracture sustained during a game against the Chicago Bulls.
The 19-year-old small forward, who was the seventh pick in the 2023 NBA draft, had been averaging 8.4 points and 4.1 rebounds across 63 games.
Despite the Wizards' struggling season, with a record of 11-57, Coulibaly's performance earned him a place in the hearts of fans and recognition as a rising star.
The injury will not require surgery, allowing Coulibaly the potential to play for the French national team in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
The Wizards face a challenging end to the season, with several other key players sidelined due to injuries.
