Toward the end of the NBA season, plenty of young players get an opportunity to prove themselves as teams offer 10-day, rest-of-season and new two-way contracts to fresh faces. This year, one of those players is Julian Reese, who signed a two-way contract with the Wizards on Saturday.
Reese is the brother of WNBA star Angel Reese. After going undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, Julian joined the Lakers for NBA Summer League and later signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Raptors to join Toronto for training camp. He has spent his first professional season within the organization for Toronto’s G League affiliate, Raptors 905. Over the full G League season, the 6’9” forward out of Maryland has averaged 7.8 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
