Washington added Jazian Gortman on October 3, 2026, and waived guard Steve Settle in the corresponding move. Gortman is 23 years old, stands 6-2, and weighs 184 pounds. He plays guard and comes out of Overtime Elite rather than a traditional college program. The transaction lists him with one season of experience. He will wear No. 00 for the Wizards. The move gives Washington another body in the backcourt heading into training camp as the front office finalizes the roster before the regular season begins.
02No Injury Concerns, Opener Still AheadGortman is not on the injury report, and he has no reported injury history.
Gortman is not on the injury report, and he has no reported injury history. He has not yet appeared in a game for Washington, since the signing came before the season opener. With no last season statistics on his Wizards ledger, his production at this level is still unproven. The roster now reflects the Settle-for-Gortman swap, and Washington will find out what the 23-year-old guard offers once the regular season tips off and playing time gets sorted out in training camp and preseason minutes.
