Khris Middleton is reported to be rejoining the Washington Wizards through a sign-and-trade deal involving the Dallas Mavericks. Multiple outlets report that Dallas is sending Middleton to Washington as part of a larger, multi-team transaction that is described as a six-team deal involving 11 players. The Associated Press reports Middleton has agreed to a partially guaranteed, three-year contract that could be worth up to $17.6 million, though the final league approvals have not yet been granted at the time of reporting.
According to reporting cited by Yahoo Sports, ESPN says the Middleton deal is expected to be folded into other pending agreements and become part of the broader trade. That framework includes D’Angelo Russell moving from Washington to Memphis, and Caris LeVert moving from Detroit to Milwaukee, with Washington receiving Taurean Prince and Gary Harris. The Athletic notes Middleton previously played for the Wizards from February 2024 to February 2025, after which he joined the Mavericks before the reported return.
