Overview
- The Wizards placed veteran guard Dante Exum on waivers, the team announced Sunday.
- Exum’s $2,296,274 cap charge stays on Washington’s books if he clears waivers, though the move opens a 15-man roster slot.
- General manager Will Dawkins said D’Angelo Russell will not report, with talks ongoing about a buyout or other resolution.
- NBA reporter Chris Haynes has reported that Washington plans to keep Anthony Davis out for the remainder of the season to focus on full recovery.
- Washington now lists 13 players on standard contracts, with Keshon Gilbert on a 10-day deal, after Exum’s season-ending right-knee surgery in December kept him sidelined.
