The Washington Wizards are signing guard Alondes Williams to a 10-day contract, according to agent Daniel Hazan of Hazan Sports Management via ESPN. Williams makes the jump to the NBA roster from the Wizards' G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go, where he has been a focal point of the rotation throughout the current campaign.
A recognized talent at the developmental level, Alondes Williams was recently honored as a G League All-Star. This signing marks the start of his fourth season in the NBA. Despite his tenure in professional basketball, Williams has seen limited action on the big stage, appearing in just nine total NBA games across the last three years. His return to the league provides the Wizards with an athletic scoring option in the backcourt as they continue to shuffle their roster depth and evaluate talent.
The move highlights the Washington Wizards' commitment to rewarding internal development within their affiliate system. Williams will have the duration of the 10-day contract to impress the coaching staff and front office in hopes of securing a second 10-day deal or a rest-of-season contract. The team has not yet confirmed the specific roster slot he will occupy for his debut.
