Khris Middleton is going nowhere! Yes, you heard us, the Washington Wizards have locked down the 33-year-old forward for the 2025-26 season. ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the three-time NBA All-Star has picked up his massive $33.3 million player option with the Wizards for the upcoming campaign.
This extension is part of the initial three-year, $93 million deal the veteran signed with the Milwaukee Bucks before being traded to the Wizards ahead of the deadline last season in a move that sent Kyle Kuzma to the Milwaukee Bucks. It will be interesting to see how this journey unfolds for the veteran star. Middleton had a pretty solid season for the Wizards, averaging 10.7 points along with 3.7 rebounds and 3.4 assists.
However, this move comes as a surprise to many, as there was no buzz around Middleton signing a new deal. The Washington fans were more focused on Jordan Poole’s trade rumors this season, which have been running rampant all throughout the summer, with the guard yet to make a decision on his future.
