Gafford agrees to extension with Wizards

Former Arkansas forward Daniel Gafford has agreed to a contract extension with the Washington Wizards, according to a report.

Shams Charania, an NBA insider for The Athletic and Stadium, reported late Monday that Gafford’s deal is for three years — through the 2025-26 season — and worth $40.2 million.

A second-round pick of the Chicago Bulls in the 2019 NBA Draft, Gafford played 31 games for the franchise last season before being traded March 25 to Washington, where he blossomed in an increased role.

Over 23 regular-season games with the Wizards, he averaged 10.1 points on 68.
