2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following a relatively successful campaign in 2023-24, Kispert received a four-year, $54 million extension in October 2024 that includes a team option for 2028-29. However, he saw a slight dip in production last season. Kispert appeared in a career-low 61 regular-season games due to a torn ligament in his left thumb, averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 26.3 minutes per game before being shut down for the season. He also shot 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and a career-worst 45.1 percent from the field. While he declined last season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the former No. 15 overall pick take another step back. The Wizards are expected to prioritize their youth movement with Bilal Coulibaly, Tre Johnson, AJ Johnson, Cam Whitmore and Kyshawn George all likely to compete for minutes with Kispert. Furthermore, veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton remain in the picture. Kispert is a career 38.2 percent shooter from beyond the arc and should maintain a role as a three-point specialist off the bench. He recorded a 223rd-place finish in the 2024-25 campaign in eight-category leagues, and his limited upside makes him a target on the waiver wire in the 2025-26 season. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Corey James Kispert was born in March of 1999 in Edmonds, Washington, just north of Seattle. He is the son of former college athletes Craig (basketball) and Deri (volleyball) Kispert. Corey attended King's High School in Shoreline, Washington. As a junior at King's, Kispert averaged 23.9 points and 2.3 steals per game, led the team to a state title and was named MVP of the state championship tournament. At the end of his junior season, he committed to Gonzaga University. Kispert finished his high school education with a 3.96 grade-point average. Kispert would stay at Gonzaga for a full four years. In his first year as a Bulldog, Kispert played in 35 games and averaged 19.4 minutes per game, with seven starts. Kispert would then start 101 of his next 102 games for Gonzaga. As a sophomore, he earned Academic All-West Coast Conference honors. During his junior season, the forward hit 2.4 threes per game. He also earned WCC First Team and Academic All-WCC Team honors and was a Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award finalist, Kispert's college stats peaked as a senior, when he generated 18.6 points, 2.8 three-pointers and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field. He was then named All-WCC First Team, WCC Player of the Year and a First Team All-American by Sporting News and Sports Illustrated. He also led Gonzaga to the 2021 NCAA Tournament National Championship game, where the Bulldogs lost to Baylor. Kispert was also named the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year. In the 2021 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Kispert with the 15th overall pick.

Out with fractured thumb
FWashington Wizards
Thumb
November 27, 2025
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Kispert made some minor leaps in his sophomore season, and this year will be the best indicator of what his ceiling can be. Washington has decided to go in full-on tank mode, getting rid of Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal and Monte Morris over the last year. That's left this roster extremely thin, and it should guarantee Kispert a starting 30-minute role. He actually did that for most of last season, averaging 11.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.4 steals across 28.3 minutes a night. His calling card is his shooting, though, hitting 2.2 threes while shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 85.2 percent from the free-throw line and 42.4 percent from three-point range. While we are excited about the bump in scoring opportunities, the fantasy profile is ugly when looking at everything else. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Gonzaga product creep closer to 15 points per game on great shooting peripherals, but be aware that you're not getting much else outside of scoring. That's why he'll go undrafted in most leagues, but he's worth keeping an eye on if the Wizards decide to give him more playmaking opportunities.
On a team that struggled for positive storylines last season, Kispert was a pleasant surprise. While he did end well outside the top 250, he picked things up down the stretch. He started the final 29 games and averaged 11.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.3 threes in 31.5 minutes. However, his usage and minutes were inflated due to Bradley Beal's absence. Kispert will presumably continue to be in the rotation as a sophomore, but he's a pure three-point shooter and will compete against Johnny Davis, Will Barton and Deni Avdija for time on the wing. He can be avoided in all but the deepest of leagues.
One of the best pure shooters in college basketball, Kispert helped lead Gonzaga to the National Title Game last season. The 6-7 senior averaged 18.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and shot 44.0 percent from three -- just a notch higher than his 2019-20 figure (43.8% 3PT). Kispert offers a bit more than the typical "shooting specialist" archetype, but firing away from deep is exactly what the Wizards will ask him to do in Year 1. There's a chance Kispert could be of use to fantasy managers in need of threes, but he'll have to compete with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Davis Bertans, Kyle Kuzma and last year's first-rounder, Deni Avdija, for minutes in what's suddenly a crowded wing rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return in December
FWashington Wizards
November 27, 2025
Kispert suffered a right thumb fracture and should be sidelined for around three weeks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic speculates.
ANALYSIS
Robbins noted that this injury takes about three weeks to heal, but it's unclear whether the forward will adhere to that timeline. If that's the case, though, Kispert could be looking at a potential return to the hardwood in December. Kispert sustained the injury in the third quarter of the Wizards' 132-113 win over the Hawks on Tuesday. He's averaging 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 19.9 minutes per game this season.
