The Wizards have signed Erik Stevenson to a 10-day contract, according to a team press release. In a related move, they released Jaylen Nowell.
Washington is rewarding one of its G League players. In 32 games this season, Stevenson is averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game for the Capital City Go-Go as a sixth man. The 25-year-old has scored 20-plus points 15 times this season and was selected to the G League Up Next game.
Stevenson, who played college ball for West Virginia, took part in training camp with San Antonio in 2023 and Washington in 2024. He was waived by the Wizards in October before joining the G League club and also played in three games for Washington during Summer League in Las Vegas.
Nowell signed his 10-day deal on Feb. 8 but didn’t see any action for the Wizards last Monday or Wednesday. He appeared in eight games, averaging 8.4 PPG in 21.0 MPG, for the injury-plagued Pelicans in November.
Nowell spent his first four NBA seasons from 2019-23 in Minnesota, had stints with Memphis and Detroit in 2023/24, then joined the Capital City Go-Go after New Orleans waived him. His contract would have run through this Friday it hadn’t been terminated early, since 10-day deals are required to cover at least three games.
You need someone young 19-20 who can develop next to Sarr who can rebound good. Sarr has a horrible rebounding rate last time I looked. So Sarr should be playing PF then find a good defensive rebounding young big. A young C taller than 6’10 unless they can find a young great rebounding PF. I would keep looking on the two ways for that. You do not need any guards at moment
