Skal Labissiere lands Exhibit 10 with Wizards as Bulls, Magic trim rosters

The Washington Wizards added frontcourt depth on Monday by signing free agent big man Skal Labissiere to an Exhibit 10 contract. To open a roster spot, the team waived guard Jazian Gortman, who had also been on an Exhibit 10 deal for training camp.

Labissiere returns to Wizards with G League incentive on the table

Labissiere, the 26th overall pick in the 2016 draft, completed all four years of his rookie scale contract before falling out of the NBA on a full-time basis. Over the past six seasons he has only resurfaced on a series of 10-day contracts, including short stints with the Sacramento Kings and the Wizards in each of the last two years.

In three appearances for Washington in 2025-26, the Haitian centre averaged 4.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game. For his NBA career, he holds averages of 7.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 17.1 minutes across 155 games.

Most of the last three seasons have been spent in the NBA G League with the Stockton Kings and Capital City Go-Go. Labissiere was highly productive for Capital City in 2025-26, posting 19.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 blocks per contest on efficient shooting over 48 games, while playing significant minutes.

Under the Exhibit 10 structure, if he is waived before opening night and then remains with the Go-Go for at least 60 days in 2026-27, Labissiere would be eligible for a bonus worth up to $91K on top of his standard G League pay. Gortman, who was also on an Exhibit 10, could similarly end up with Capital City if both sides choose to continue the relationship at the minor-league level.

Bulls and Magic make late-camp moves with an eye on Osceola

The transaction log also showed a pair of other cuts on Monday. The Chicago Bulls waived guard Isaiah Stevens to create room on their roster for Jordan Hawkins, who is being brought in ahead of the regular season.

In Orlando, the Magic released forward Mike Sharavjamts shortly after signing him to an Exhibit 10 agreement, a move that had been anticipated. The club then officially signed and waived guard Johnell Davis in another procedural transaction.

According to Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel, both Sharavjamts and Davis are expected to suit up for the Osceola Magic to start the 2026-27 campaign. Together with Washington’s moves, these transactions highlight how teams use Exhibit 10 contracts at the end of camp to secure G League rights and stock their affiliates for the upcoming season.
