The Washington Wizards announced this week that they have re-signed free agent forward Kyle Kuzma for a four-year, $102M deal.
Kuzma, who will be entering his seventh NBA season, averaged career-highs of 21.2 points and 3.7 assists last season to go along with 7.2 rebounds and a .333 three-point percentage (making a career-high 2.5 three-pointers per contest) in 64 games with the Wizards in 2022-23. He also posted single-season highs in total field goals (512), three-pointers (160), assists (239) and points (1,357) last season while recording 14 double-doubles and one triple-double. Kuzma finished with 39 games of 20+ points and 10 games of 30+ points during the season, both personal bests.
We spent time with Kyle over the last several weeks and were impressed with his commitment to his craft, desire to take on a leadership role, and passion for representing the Wizards. His versatility, resilience, and drive are all core characteristics of the type of player we want as part of our organization. – Wizards General Manager Will Dawkins
