The Washington Wizards have made a strategic move by bringing guard Erik Stevenson on board with a 10-day contract. As part of this adjustment, they’ve parted ways with Jaylen Nowell, releasing him from his own 10-day agreement.
Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at 205 pounds, Stevenson is a guard in his second professional year, hailing from West Virginia. He had stints in training camps with the San Antonio Spurs in 2023 and later with the Wizards in 2024, before playing for each team’s NBA G League affiliate. Additionally, he made an appearance in three games for Washington during the 2024 Summer League held in Las Vegas.
This season, Stevenson has been showing his prowess on the court with the Capital City Go-Go, playing in 32 games. He’s posting impressive averages of 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. Notably, he’s currently sitting in third place for points per game coming off the bench in the entire NBA G League season, provided a minimum of 10 games played. Furthermore, he has managed to rack up 20 or more points in 15 games this season. His performance has not gone unnoticed, as he was chosen to take part in the G League Up Next game on February 7.
