Nowell and the Wizards agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Nowell will get a chance to compete for a spot on the Wizards' 15-man roster to open the season, though by virtue of signing an Exhibit 10 deal, Washington will retain his G League rights if he fails to make the cut. The 25-year-old guard appeared in 13 games at the NBA level in 2023-24 with the Grizzlies and Pistons, averaging 6.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 16.5 minutes.
