The Wizards are releasing Gary Payton II and signing John Jenkins to a contract according to multiple reports.
Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reported the Wizards did not renew Payton II’s 10-day contract after Wednesday’s win over the Pacers. Then, just an hour later, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported the Wizards were completing a deal to sign John Jenkins of the Westchester Knicks to a 10-day deal.
Payton II only played 16 minutes in a Wizards uniform, but he made the most of them.
