The Washington Wizards have signed guard Erik Stevenson to a 10-day contract, while parting ways with Jaylen Nowell. Stevenson, a former standout at the University of Washington, has been impressive in the G League, averaging 17.1 points per game with strong rebounding and assist numbers. This signing marks a new opportunity for Stevenson, who has previously played for several colleges and went undrafted, showcasing his resilience in pursuing an NBA career.

Nowell, who had a brief stint with the Wizards, was released after failing to see game time. His journey has also included a short tenure with the New Orleans Pelicans. Stevenson's previous college experience has been tumultuous, particularly during a challenging season at Washington, where he and his teammates struggled significantly. The Wizards are looking for fresh talent to bolster their roster amidst ongoing challenges this season.
