The Washington Wizards are reportedly parting ways with Israeli forward Deni Avdija after four seasons, trading the 23-year-old to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Wizards will receive guard Malcolm Brogdon the No. 14 pick in the upcoming NBA draft and an additional pick in 2029, ESPN reports.
Avdija finished sixth in the voting for this past year’s Most Improved Player award, averaging 14.7 points per game.
