The Washington Wizards offered a huge extension to All-NBA guard John Wall to lock him up through 2023. Wall reportedly did not want to sign his extension until Washington made some moves this offseason to prove that they were serious about a continued deep push in the playoffs. Wizards owner Ted Leonis was confident that they would be able to keep their All-Star point guard for the foreseeable future and his prediction was correct.
John Wall will sign the designated player veteran exception with the Wizards which will begin in 2019 and extend through 2023 season. His extension will be for $170 million bringing his total contract to $207 million.
