The Washington Wizards agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million contract with veteran forward Khris Middleton through a sign-and-trade deal completed Tuesday. The transaction is part of a six-team trade that also involves the Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and the team that previously held Middleton's rights.
Washington sends guard D'Angelo Russell, a 2029 second-round pick, a 2032 second-round swap and a 2033 second-round pick to Memphis. The team that previously held Middleton's rights adds a 2033 second-round selection in the deal.
He spent portions of the past two seasons with the Wizards before being traded in February. Middleton previously played 12 seasons with the Bucks, where he earned three All-Star selections and contributed to their 2020-21 championship run. The Wizards acquired Trae Young and Anthony Davis last season and added Deandre Ayton and Middleton this offseason to strengthen their roster.
