D'Angelo Russell opted into his $6-million player option for the 2026-27 season with the Washington Wizards on Friday.

Russell was traded to Washington last season in the Anthony Davis trade, but he never suited up for the team. His future with the Wizards has always been a question mark, and there is still a chance he could be traded even though he has opted into his player option.

D'Angelo Russell will not make his debut with the Wizards on Sunday against the Heat.

Russell has yet to join the Wizards. It is possible he could eventually be bought out.

D’Angelo Russell has been traded to the Washington Wizards in a blockbuster trade centered on Anthony Davis that sends him, Russell, Dante Exum, and Jaden Hardy to the Wizards for a host of players, two firsts, and three second round picks.

Russell will now try to carve out a role in Washington alongside Trae Young and a host of young and intriguing players in DC. He may not be done moving just yet, as the Wizards depth in that area could mean they move on from him, but if they keep him, expect his fantasy value to remain steady.
