Washington Wizards starting guard Bilal Coulibaly will be out approximately four to six weeks with a right hamstring injury sustained in the first quarter of a 119-104 loss on Monday against the Toronto Raptors.

The team announced Thursday that "the injury will be treated conservatively and Coulibaly's recovery status will be updated as appropriate."

Coulibaly, 20, is averaging 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals through 59 games (all starts) in his second season with the Wizards.

Drafted No. 7 overall by Indiana in 2023 and then traded to Washington, the Frenchman has career marks of 10.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 122 games (74 starts).
