Summary
D'Angelo Russell picked up his $6 million player option for 2026-27, keeping him with the Washington Wizards instead of entering free agency.
Washington's move comes amid a fast-moving NBA offseason tracker filled with major contract decisions, trades and re-signings across the league.
The Wizards had already secured Trae Young on a new four-year, $212 million deal after he declined his $49 million option, signaling continuity in their backcourt.
Russell's decision lands in an offseason already defined by blockbuster movement, including Giannis Antetokounmpo's trade to Miami nine days after the Knicks won the title.
