The move demonstrates a show of support from Winger and Dawkins, neither of whom had a previous relationship with Unseld before arriving in Washington in late spring.
"Damn," said a mop-topped Avdija, making his voice serious as could be at Monday's media day even as he couldn't help but smile. "I feel like a vet, man. It's crazy."
But for all the new players and front-office members, Monumental Basketball President Michael Winger and General Manager Will Dawkins have ensured Washington will have some familiarity - and continuity - around the building for at least the next two years. The Wizards have picked up the fourth-year option in Coach Wes Unseld Jr.'s contract, meaning he is set to helm the team through at least the 2024-25 season, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation.
