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

Malaki Branham's time with the San Antonio Spurs has ended after three seasons. The former Ohio State guard was traded to the Washington Wizards.

The Washington Wizards are re-signing 7-footer Tristan Vukcevic to a two-way NBA deal, sources tell ESPN's Shams Charania. Vukcevic averaged 9.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game last season and will enter his third NBA campaign.

Ideally, a contending team ought to have the personnel to match up well against any kind of lineup, from a small-ball opponent to an opponent that starts two bigs. The Wizards’ brain trust intends to become that kind of team eventually. But not now. It’s still too early in the rebuild.

Vukcevic will be back with Washington for a third straight year. The 21-year-old center played in 35 games with the franchise during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, shooting 49.6 percent from the floor and 37.3 percent from three-point range.

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