Bilal Coulibaly's Hand Injury Adds Another Line to His CVS Receipt of a Medical Chart
Underdog NBA reported: 'Bilal Coulibaly (hand) downgraded to questionable Monday.'
getting downgraded to questionable with a hand injury on a Monday is just another day in the office for the ' medical staff.
The 22-year-old wing is officially a coin flip for tonight's game, which means anyone relying on him for fantasy matchups or prop bets needs to start making backup plans immediately.
Coulibaly has been putting up 7.2 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, showing flashes of that developmental leap everyone in has been waiting for. But his medical chart is starting to look like a CVS receipt.
Over the last couple of years, he has popped up on the injury report for his wrist, pelvis, back, heel, calf, ankle, and now his hand. At this point, the only body part he hasn't sprained is his aura.
When a guy gets a late downgrade on a Monday, the betting markets usually scramble to adjust the Wizards' rotation props. If he sits, expect a heavy dose of the usual chaos, meaning more forced shots from the veterans and unpredictable rotation minutes.
Keep an eye on the final warmups before tip-off. If Coulibaly is ruled out, he will just add another line to his growing injury history, and will have to figure out how to replace his perimeter defense on the fly.
