Leaky Black Waived by Washington
The Washington Wizards have waived forward Leaky Black on Wednesday. Black averaged 7.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.5 blocks and 1.2 steals in 28.9 minutes across 15 regular-season contests during the 2025-26 campaign. He was on a two-way deal with the Wizards and has spent most of his career in the G League. The 27-year-old will likely draw interest from some other teams and could land a new role this offseason.

Felix Okpara Heads to Washington in a Draft-Night Deal
The Orlando Magic drafted Tennessee center Felix Okpara at No. 46 and flipped him to the Washington Wizards for picks 51 and 60 in the 2026 NBA draft, HoopsHype's Michael Scotto reports. The Lagos, Nigeria native averaged 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks on 59.7 percent shooting as a senior, anchoring an Elite Eight defense with his length and rim protection. Okpara is a lob-finishing, shot-blocking big with little offensive polish, landing behind Anthony Davis and Alexandre Sarr on Washington's depth chart. That is where it gets interesting for fantasy: both starters have long injury histories, and Tristan Vukcevic is the only other guaranteed center, so Okpara could back into spot starts and cheap blocks if either big misses time. Trae Young's lob passing only sweetens the fit.

Cameron Boozer Emerges as a Wizards Wild Card at No. 1 Pick
The Athletic's Zach Harper floated a draft-night curveball: the Wizards taking Duke forward Cameron Boozer at No. 1 over AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson. Harper noted that a D.C. radio appearance framed the debate as Dybantsa versus Boozer rather than Dybantsa versus Peterson, making him wonder if a surprise could be brewing. The reigning national player of the year averaged 22.5 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists at Duke as a polished stretch forward. Harper's logic is that pairing Boozer with Alexandre Sarr and Anthony Davis could help mask some defensive limitations. The catch for fantasy managers is that same frontcourt: Sarr and Davis would compete with Boozer for early minutes and rebounds. Davis' long injury history leaves a real opening, and Boozer's talent makes him a long-term fantasy cornerstone wherever he lands.

Anthony Davis Tells Wizards he Wants to Stay
Center/power forward Anthony Davis wants to stay in Washington, Wizards president Michael Winger said, pushing back on trade rumors since February's deadline deal from Dallas. "He's communicated to me a strong interest in being part of what we're building," Winger told NBC Sports Washington's JP Finlay. Davis has yet to play a game for the Wizards after left-hand ligament damage ultimately kept him out for the rest of the season. The 10-time All-Star is owed $58.5 million next year, and when healthy, he remains a sky-high source of points, rebounds, blocks, and steals. The catch is availability: he has appeared in just 71 of 162 games since the start of 2024-25. A healthy Davis at the four could trim some of Alexandre Sarr's frontcourt usage, though Davis' games-missed history means Sarr should still keep a heavy workload.
