Young (quadriceps) is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Wizards in free agency, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Young plans to decline his $48 million player option for the 2026-27 season, and while he's expected to meet with other teams, the Wizards are the clear favorites. Windhorst adds that the Wizards are preparing to offer him a very large contract, and it sounds like there's mutual interest in getting something done quickly.

Sarr underwent surgery to repair a fractured right foot Monday, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Despite the procedure, Sarr is expected to be ready for the start of the 2026-27 season. The 2024 No. 2 overall pick was limited to 48 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, averaging 16.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.0 blocks in 27.2 minutes per game.

McLaughlin averaged 2.0 points, 0.9 assists and 0.7 rebounds across 6.4 minutes per tilt in 44 regular-season appearances during the 2025-26 season.

McLaughlin averaged several career lows in his first full season with San Antonio. The 30-year-old point guard logged double-digit minutes in just 12 of his regular-season outings and is now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.

Plumlee posted averages of 1.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 8.6 minutes per contest across 20 regular-season appearances (three starts) between the Spurs and Hornets in 2025-26.

Plumlee began the season with the Hornets and saw inconsistent burn before undergoing right groin surgery in late December. The 36-year-old was traded to the Thunder and subsequently waived in February, and the veteran center later joined the Spurs on a 10-day deal before signing a rest-of-season contract with the club. Plumlee appeared in just six regular-season games for San Antonio and is now slated to enter unrestricted free agency.

Biyombo finished the 2025-26 regular season with averages of 0.9 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per contest over 25 outings (one start).

Biyombo averaged single-digit minutes for the first time in his career, providing depth in a crowded center room. The veteran big man has spent the last two seasons in San Antonio and is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Waters averaged 2.4 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists across 7.1 minutes per tilt in 40 regular-season games during the 2025-26 campaign.

Waters didn't play in any of San Antonio's last six postseason games or log more than eight minutes in any of his nine playoff appearances. The 28-year-old swingman logged double-digit minutes in just 10 of his regular-season outings and averaged a career-low mark in minutes. He's slated to be an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Olynyk finished the 2025-26 season with averages of 3.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 8.8 minutes per tilt in 41 regular-season games.

Olynyk didn't see the floor in the final six games of the postseason, bringing an end to a quiet campaign for the veteran center. The 35-year-old logged double-digit minutes in just 17 of his regular-season appearances, closing with several career-worst averages. He's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer after being traded twice last offseason.

Diawara appeared in 69 regular-season games (seven starts) in 2025-26, averaging 3.6 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.8 assists across 9.2 minutes per contest.

Diawara finished the season with a DNP-CD in all five games of the NBA Finals, and he appeared in only six games during the playoffs. The 21-year-old forward saw brief stretches of increased playing time, especially when Miles McBride missed 27 consecutive contests from Jan. 28 to March 26 due to sports hernia surgery. During that span, Diawara averaged 5.9 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.0 assists while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in 14.2 minutes per game.

Dadiet appeared in 29 regular-season games in 2025-26, averaging 1.7 points and 0.9 rebounds while shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 4.7 minutes per showing.

While Dadiet appeared in 11 more games than he did as a rookie, he averaged fewer minutes per game and scored in double figures just twice. However, the 20-year-old swingman took a step forward in the G League compared to 2024-25. Over 19 appearances with the Westchester Knicks this season, he averaged 22.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals across 34.6 minutes per contest.

Barnes finished the 2025-26 campaign with averages of 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.8 minute per game across 77 regular-season appearances (52 starts).

Barnes didn't see the floor in any of the final three games of the Finals after logging 17 total minutes in the first two outings of the series. The veteran forward was a regular in the starting lineup to begin the regular season but started only three games after the All-Star break. The 34-year-old is set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason.
