The Washington Wizards are signing center Skal Labissiere to a 10-day contract, according to agent Daniel Hazan via ESPN. Labissiere will join the NBA roster directly from the team's G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go.
A former first-round selection in the 2016 NBA Draft, Skal Labissiere is entering his sixth season in the league. He has been a standout performer for the Capital City Go-Go this season, demonstrating high-level efficiency from the floor. Per the report, Labissiere has shot 55% from the field and an impressive 44% from three-point range during his recent G League tenure.
The move provides the Washington Wizards with additional frontcourt depth and a versatile scoring option at the center position. Skal Labissiere previously spent time with the Sacramento Kings and Portland Trail Blazers, establishing himself as a mobile big man with reliable shooting range. The Wizards will now evaluate his performance and fit within the rotation over the duration of the short-term deal.
