Wizards waive Richaun Holmes

The Washington Wizards have requested waivers on veteran center Richaun Holmes, according to Washington’s public relations account on X, as well as Hoops Hype’s Mike Scotto.

Holmes, 31, provided solid minutes off the bench for the Wizards last season, averaging 7.4 points and 5.7 rebounds in 31 games.

Holmes’ contract only had $250k guaranteed for the 2025-26 season, which made him a possible waive candidate considering Washington’s crowded roster.

Washington signed veteran center Marvin Bagley III to a one-year deal and retained third-year forward Tristan Vukcevic on a two-way deal last Thursday, bolstering the team’s front-court depth.
