Wizards Sign Maryland Product Julian Reese to Two-Way Contract

The Wizards used a two-way slot opened by Jamir Watkins’ promotion to add the Maryland alum.

Overview

  • The team announced Saturday that the 22-year-old forward joined on a two-way deal after appearing in 39 games for Raptors 905 with averages of 7.8 points and 7.0 rebounds in 17.2 minutes.
  • Reporting indicates he could be active as early as Tuesday at Orlando, with some coverage noting a possible debut Saturday against the Raptors.
  • Two-way contracts allow up to 50 NBA activations, but Washington has only 24 regular-season games left, which will cap his opportunities.
  • Reese went undrafted out of Maryland in 2025, signed an Exhibit 10 with the Raptors, was waived, and spent this season with their G League affiliate.
  • Angel Reese publicly congratulated her brother on X, drawing added attention to the move.
