Washington's roster will look completely different at the start of the 2025-26 season after extensive moves via trades, the draft and free agency. Veterans including Marcus Smart, Richaun Holmes and newly acquired Blake Wesley were allowed to hit the open market following buyouts, while Marvin Bagley III returned via free agency. General manager Will Dawkins reshaped the roster with a clear direction regarding Malcolm Brogdon. Brogdon, acquired last season to mentor a young core, missed significant time due to injuries and could not provide on-court leadership. The Wizards opted not to retain or place him, and a weak market makes his return unlikely.
Brogdon won't return to Washington The writing was on the wall when the offseason began, but with how the offseason has unfolded it's all but confirmed that Brogdon's time in Washington has come to an end. Washington landed the veteran guard last offseason in hopes that the Virginia product would be a mentor for the team's young core this season. However, after the injuries limited the playmaker's time on the court, the team's hope for what he could provide quickly became limited.
As a result, entering the offseason it became increasingly clear that the Wizards would not be in the market to bring the former Sixth Man of the Year back to Washington. And with how lackluster the market has looked for Brogdon over the last couple of months, it's all but confirmed the Wizards lack of interest proves a return to the DMV is unlikely.
