Get ready for some NBA offseason action! Kyle Kuzma has declined his $13 million player option with the Washington Wizards, making him a free agent. This decision, while anticipated, sets the stage for Kuzma to explore more lucrative deals after a career-best scoring season.
Kuzma averaged an impressive 21.2 points per game for the Wizards last season. While a return to Washington isn't off the table, he's likely to attract significant interest from other teams seeking a scoring boost. This move comes as the Wizards are reportedly finalizing a trade to send Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns, signaling a period of transition for the team.
Free agency officially begins on June 30th, marking the start of what promises to be an exciting period of player movement and team restructuring.
In other news, Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. has exercised his $18.5 million player option, opting to remain with the team for another season. Trent averaged 17.4 points per game last season, continuing a consistent scoring trend over his five-year career.
