Recent Transactions


D'Angelo Russell opted into his $6-million player option for the 2026-27 season with the Washington Wizards on Friday. (Source: Jake Fischer on X)

Fantasy Impact: 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.


Trae Young plans to opt out of the final season of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent. (Source: Marc J. Spears on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Young was acquired from the Hawks in early January and appeared in only five games for the Wizards. Washington remains the front-runner to sign Young, but he'll still figure to draw interest from other teams.
