On Monday, the Wizards officially acquired forward Trevor Ariza from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for forward Kelly Oubre Jr. and guard Austin Rivers.
Ariza, 33, returns to the nation’s capital after playing two seasons for the Wizards from 2013-2015. The 6’8” forward out of UCLA had the best statistical season of his career with the Wizards in 2013-14, averaging 14.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game while shooting 45.6% from the field and a career-high 40.7% from deep.
Known as one of the league’s top ‘3-and-D’ players, Ariza blossomed with the Wizards before playing four seasons with the Rockets and part of this year in Phoenix.
