Wizards Say Kyshawn George Has Partial UCL Tear With Re-Evaluation in Three Weeks

The timing puts his availability for the season’s final weeks in doubt.

Overview

  • Washington confirmed a partial tear of the UCL in George’s left elbow sustained on March 2 against Houston.
  • The team opted for conservative, non-surgical treatment with a three-week check rather than a set return date.
  • With George sidelined, Will Riley is expected to take on a larger role, with Bub Carrington and Jaden Hardy candidates for added minutes, according to reports.
  • George has started all 48 of his games this season, averaging 14.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
  • He is under contract for $3.1 million next season, with a 2027/28 team option decision due this fall and extension eligibility next summer.
