A familiar face is returning to Washington via a convoluted path.
Former All-Star Khris Middleton is re-joining the Wizards from the Dallas Mavericks via a six-team sign-and-trade deal, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports.
Per the report, Middleton agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million contract that facilitated the deal. The Clippers, Pistons, Bucks and Grizzlies are also involved in the deal that will send D'Angelo Russell, a future second-round pick and a future second-round pick swap from Washington to Memphis, according to the report.
The latest part of the deal will facilitate previously agreed-upon trades that sent Isaiah Stewart to the Grizzlies, John Collins, Gary Harris and Taurean Prince to the Pistons, Santi Aldama to the Mavericks and Caris LeVert to the Bucks, according to the report. It’s not clear what the Clippers, who sent Collins to the Pistons via a sign-and-trade, get out of the deal.
Middleton, 34, was a three-time All-Star and key player for the 2020-21 Bucks that won the NBA championship behind Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards ahead of the 2025 trade deadline.
