The Wizards have signed Erik Stevenson to a 10-day contract, according to a team press release. In a related move, they waived Jaylen Nowell.
Washington is rewarding one of its G League players. In 32 games this season, Stevenson is averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game for the Capital City Go-Go as a sixth man. Stevenson, 25, has scored 20-plus points 15 times this season and was selected to the G League Up Next game.
Stevenson, who played college ball for West Virginia, took part in training camp with San Antonio in 2023 and Washington in 2024. Stevenson was waived by the Wizards in October before joining the G League club. He also played in three games for Washington during Summer League in Las Vegas.
Nowell signed his 10-day deal on Feb. 8 but didn’t appear in a Wizards game. Nowell appeared in eight games, averaging 8.4 PPG in 21.0 MPG, for the injury-plagued Pelicans in November.
He spent his first four NBA seasons from 2019-23 in Minnesota, had stints with Memphis and Detroit in 2023/24, then joined the Capital City Go-Go after New Orleans waived him.
