Wizards' Richaun Holmes: Agrees to two-year deal with Wiz
Rotowire
Holmes agreed to a two-year, $25.9 million contract with the Wizards on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Holmes had to decline his $12.8 million player option prior to this agreement, so he secured himself a small raise. As for the second season of his deal, only $250,000 of it is guaranteed. Holmes figures to play a key role for the rebuilding Wizards in 2024-25 with this news, and he offers some intriguing fantasy appeal due to the lack of depth in Washington's frontcourt.

Holmes (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
