Chris Livingston Joins Wizards Roster After Limited Cleveland Run
Wizards Nightly Desk · 2 h agoChris Livingston is on the Washington Wizards roster for 2026-27, wearing No. 8 at forward. He played just three games last season with Cleveland, all in December, none longer than 14.1 minutes. He is not on the injury report heading into the new season.
Where He Stands Now
Chris Livingston is on the Wizards roster for the 2026-27 season, listed at forward and wearing No. 8. He is 22 years old, out of Kentucky, and entering his third season in the league. He stands 6-6 and weighs 220 pounds. He is not on the injury report. Last season he appeared in just three games, all with Cleveland, so his track record in live NBA minutes is thin. Washington now gives him a fresh roster spot to try to carve out a role.
A Short Cleveland Sample
Livingston's 2025-26 season with Cleveland lasted three games: December 5 against San Antonio, December 1 against Indiana, and November 24 against Toronto. He averaged 5.8 minutes, 3.0 points, 1.0 rebound, 0.3 assists and 0.3 steals across that stretch, with no blocks and no turnovers. His shooting split was 57.1 percent from the field, 0.0 percent from three and 100.0 percent from the line, for a 60.5 true shooting mark. His usage rate sat at 18.9, and his plus-minus was plus-2.7.
Game Logs
In his most recent appearance, a win over San Antonio on December 5, Livingston scored 2 points in 2.4 minutes with a minus-4.0 plus-minus. On December 1, in a win over Indiana, he played 0.9 minutes and did not score, finishing at even plus-minus. His biggest workload of the three came November 24 against Toronto, a loss, when he logged 14.1 minutes and posted 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist with a plus-12.0 plus-minus, his best individual number of the stretch.
Injury Report
Livingston is not on the injury report. There is no injury history on file for him. Heading into the 2026-27 season, his availability is not a question mark the way his role is — the issue for Washington is finding him minutes, not managing him around a physical setback.
Background
Livingston came to the league out of Kentucky. He is now in his third NBA season and joins Washington's roster at 22 years old. His frame, 6-6 and 220 pounds, fits a combo forward mold. Last season's three-game sample with Cleveland did not give him much room to show what he can do beyond a small usage-rate snapshot of 18.9 in extremely limited minutes.
