Prepping for second Wizards stint Middleton got in a workout Thursday ahead of his second season with Washington.

Impact Middleton is in line for a different role with the new-look Wizards this time around, though. The veteran forward started each of his 34 appearances in Washington a year ago before being shipped to Dallas as part of the Anthony Davis trade, and he's positioned initially as Davis' primary backup at power forward leading into training camp. Middleton also routinely sat out one leg of back-to-back sets with the Wizards, so it remains to be seen if the team will have a similar workload management plan in store for him as well.

Returning to Washington Middleton agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million contract with the Wizards on Tuesday via a sign-and-trade with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Dallas is sending Middleton to the Wizards as part of a six-team deal, per Charania. The veteran forward was traded from Milwaukee to Washington in February 2025 before being sent to the Mavericks last February. Now, he'll return to Washington, where he figures to serve as a veteran presence while providing frontcourt depth behind AJ Dybantsa and Anthony Davis (finger). Over 63 regular-season outings (50 starts) between the Mavericks and Wizards last season, Middleton averaged 10.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.7 steals in 22.8 minutes per contest.
