The rebuilding Wizards have taken low-risk fliers on multiple recent first-round draft picks this offseason, which could prove to be wise gambles.

Despite nailing major moves, the Wizards' mistake in the free agency to address a key positional hole could hurt them in the new season.

The San Antonio Spurs filled up another roster spot with a free agent signing that sees them bring back a familiar face.

He was just traded two days ago from New Orleans to Washington in the three-team deal that included CJ McCollum and Jordan Poole.

The NBA 2K26 Las Vegas Summer League kicks off Thursday, July 10 and the San Antonio Spurs headline tonight's primetime action. And with both the California Classic and the Salt Lake City summer leagues now wrapping up play, all eyes will turn to Sin City.

One likely reason for bringing McLaughlin back is the Spurs can use the veteran’s minimum to keep the $3.1 million that remains of their Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception and $5.1 million of the Bi-Annual Exception, which they can in turn use on their remaining two roster spots.

Wesley is joining the Wizards after spending three seasons with the Spurs, most recently averaging 3.7 points, 2.0 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 11.8 minutes across 58 games during the 2024-25 campaign. The young guard joins a crowded backcourt that includes recent additions like veteran CJ McCollum and 2025 NBA Draft No. 6 overall pick Tre Johnson.
