The Washington Wizards signed Julian Reese to a two-way contract, the team announced Saturday.
Reese, 22, played four seasons at Maryland. He averaged 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds as the Terps’ starting center on last year’s Sweet Sixteen team. He is also the brother of Angel Reese, who plays for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky.
In 39 appearances with Raptors 905 — the Toronto Raptors’ G League team — the 6-foot-9
forward averaged 7.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
Reese joins Sharife Cooper and Leaky Black as Washington’s two-way players. With Alex Sarr listed as “week-to-week” with his right hamstring strain and Anthony Davis still sidelined with a finger sprain, Reese could see playing time as Washington enters the final stretch of its third rebuilding season.
