Wizards Sign Maryland Big Julian Reese to Two-Way Contract

The signing fills Washington’s final two-way slot, creating a late-season audition for the Baltimore native.

Overview

  • Washington announced the 22-year-old forward on a two-way deal, completing its trio with Sharife Cooper and Leaky Black.
  • Reporter Josh Robbins indicated Reese could be in uniform as early as Tuesday at Orlando.
  • Undrafted in 2025, he joined Raptors 905 after an Exhibit 10 with Toronto and posted roughly 7.9 points and 7.2 rebounds on 62.8% shooting in 38–39 games.
  • The opening followed Jamir Watkins’ promotion to a standard NBA contract, and two-way rules limit NBA game availability the rest of the season.
  • With the Wizards 16–42 and managing injuries, he could see real minutes down the stretch, and sister Angel Reese publicly celebrated the move.
