Kyshawn George’s latest injury update shuts him down for rest of season

One of the Washington Wizards’ most exciting storylines this season has been Kyshawn George’s ascension. However, the 22-year-old hasn’t played since the Wizards’ 123-118 loss to the Houston Rockets on March 2 due to an elbow injury, and it’ll stay that way for the rest of the season.

Washington provided an update about George on Thursday, via social media.

“George, who sustained a Grade 2 ulnar collateral ligament tear in his left elbow on March 2, was reevaluated Wednesday,” the organization revealed. “In conjunction with imaging performed by elbow specialist Dr. Keith Meister at TMI Sports Medicine & Orthopedics in Arlington, Texas, it was determined George requires additional healing and will miss the remainder of the season. He will be reevaluated in two weeks and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2026-27 season. Updates will be provided as appropriate.”

George finishes his sophomore campaign averaging 14.8 points on 43.8% shooting (38.1% 3-point) with 5.1 rebounds, 4.5 assists, one steal, and 0.9 blocks 0ver 29 minutes. The 6-foot-8, 200-pound wing started all 48 of his games after starting 38 out of 68 appearances as a rookie last season.

George earned Rising Stars honors for the first time this year and shot more efficiently despite averaging more attempts. The former Miami Hurricane improved his field goal clip by 6.6% on four more attempts per game and improved his three-point clip by 5.9% on 0.2 more attempts.
