According to the report, because of salary limitations imposed by the collective bargaining agreement on veteran contract extensions, Kuzma is expected to decline his $13 million player option for the 2023-24 season and become an unrestricted free agent.

However, Charania adds that there’s a mutual interest in a new deal from both sides.

Kuzma averages 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game over 64 contests this season.

Charania also reported that the Wizards and Kristaps Porzingis are in serious discussions on a contract extension.

The Wizards are currently 34-42 and in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
