Out with fractured thumb
Kispert was diagnosed Thursday with a fractured to the end of his right thumb and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Robbins notes that Kispert won't need surgery to address the injury, which typically requires about three weeks to heal without a procedure. The Wizards are already without Tre Johnson (hip) on the wing, and Kispert's absence could allow players such as Cam Whitmore and Will Riley to move into larger roles in the Washington rotation in the short term. Kispert holds averages of 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes while suiting up in each of the Wizards' first 17 games.

Won't return Tuesday
Kispert won't return to Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to a right thumb injury, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis
Kispert got the starting nod and provided an immediate spark Tuesday, though he'll finish with 19 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block across 24 minutes after leaving in the third quarter. Cam Whitmore and Justin Champagnie are candidates for a bump in minutes the rest of the way due to Kispert being sidelined. The 26-year-old swingman's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Pacers.

Leaves for locker room
Kispert exited to the locker room in the third quarter of Tuesday's game against the Hawks due to an apparent right hand injury, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis
Kispert checked out with 6:19 remaining in the third and immediately headed back to the locker room. If the 26-year-old swingman is unable to return, Cam Whitmore and Justin Champagnie are candidates to see increased minutes the rest of the way.

Thrives in spot start
Kispert finished Saturday's 121-120 loss to the Bulls with 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes.
Analysis
Kispert moved into the starting lineup, replacing Khris Middleton, who was out due to injury management. The move worked wonders for Kispert, as he scored a season-high 20 points. While he does have the ability to score in bunches, this was the first time in seven contests Kispert reached a double-digit point total.
