Kuzma is expected to be one of the most notable free agents this summer.

Last season, the 27-year-old averaged a career-high 21.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game over 64 appearances.

In April, Kuzma told reporters it's possible that he could return to Washington.

"It's 100 percent an option. I've had a great time here," Kuzma said of Washington. "I've developed my game significantly here, and there's good people here. I'd be a fool to say it's not an option for me."
