Wizards Re-Sign Veteran Anthony Gill to One-Year Deal

The Washington Wizards have re-signed veteran forward Anthony Gill to a one-year contract after initially waiving him earlier in the offseason to avoid guaranteeing his $2.54 million salary for the 2025-26 season. Gill, who has spent the past five seasons with the Wizards, averaged 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in under 8 minutes per game across 51 appearances last season and is expected to provide frontcourt depth. Despite limited playing time last season, the new deal benefits both sides financially, with Gill earning slightly more on a veteran’s minimum contract while the Wizards manage their salary cap effectively. The Wizards now have 16 players under standard contracts, one over the regular-season limit, which could affect other players on the roster. Additionally, the Wizards signed Australian forward Akoldah Gak to an Exhibit 10 deal after his stint in the G League and Australia’s NBL, making him a likely candidate for the Capital City Go-Go affiliate team. Gak’s contract includes a bonus if he is waived and spends time with the Go-Go, highlighting the Wizards’ strategy of developing young talent while maintaining experienced depth.
