"General manager Will Dawkins completed the first two objectives within the first month of the offseason, trading for both CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore adding to the abundance of incoming talent assembled in the 2025 NBA Draft. Two out of three goals isn't so bad, but the problem is, goal No. 3 was arguably the most important of them all. With Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George all suiting up overseas this offseason to represent their home countries, the fear of a potential injury to come with the increased time playing against competition added a sense of concern to the Wizards' and their fanbase."

General manager Will Dawkins added CJ McCollum and Cam Whitmore early in the offseason, increasing both veteran presence and young talent around the 2025 draft class. The organization prioritized adding young players, securing a capable veteran, and keeping players healthy through the offseason. Several top prospects — Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George — represented their countries overseas, increasing competitive reps but raising injury risk. Alex Sarr sustained a calf injury with France that ends his EuroBasket participation and will keep him sidelined for an extended period. Sarr had shown promise in Summer League and appeared poised for significant sophomore development before the injury.
