Jamir Watkins News: Inks two-way deal

The Wiards and Watkins have agreed to a two-way contract, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Watkins was the 43rd overall selection in the 2025 draft after a productive season at Florida State, during which he averaged 18.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.2 steals across 32 appearances. He joins the Wizards, a team building a young core of players including Watkins and fellow 2025 draft picks Tre Johnson (sixth overall pick) and Will Riley (21st overall pick), on a two-way deal. It wouldn't be surprising to see Watkins spend much of his rookie year with the team's G League affiliate, especially early on.
