The Washington Wizards traded up for Kelly Oubre in the 2015 NBA Draft with the intention of keeping the young forward in the nation’s capital for the long-term.
Candace Buckner of the Washington Post recently reported that the team has picked up Oubre’s option for the 2017-18 season, which is merely a formality.
As expected, the Washington Wizards have picked up the third-year option on Kelly Oubre Jr.’s rookie contract, according to several league sources.
The option, for the 2017-18 season, is for $2.09 million. Oubre will make slightly more than $2 million this season, his second in the league.
