Trevor Keels Is Healthy Again, But the Wizards Still Aren't Playing Him
Trevor Keels is on Washington's roster this season after signing an Exhibit 10 deal reported by Keith Smith on September 17, 2026. He's off the injury report now after a right knee issue in September, but he's barely seeing the floor through the Wizards' first three games. Last season, split into just 8 games with Miami, he averaged 1.9 minutes and 1.0 points.

Keels, 23, is a 6-3, 215-pound guard out of Duke with two years of NBA experience, wearing No. 3 for Washington. He landed on the roster through an Exhibit 10 contract, reported by Keith Smith on September 17, 2026, the kind of deal that comes with no guarantee of a real role. Last season with Miami he played only 8 games, averaging 1.9 minutes, 1.0 point, 0.3 rebounds, shooting 25.0 percent from the field, 22.2 percent from three and 33.3 percent true shooting.
