Kispert (back) and the Wizards agreed to a four-year, $54 million extension Monday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Kispert has shown improvements in each of his first three seasons in the NBA and is now under a very team-friendly deal for the foreseeable future. He has been a part-time starter to begin his career and is competing with second-year wing Bilal Coulibaly for a starting spot in Washington's backcourt this season. Kispert dealt with minor back stiffness to end the preseason, but he's expected to be fine for the regular season.
