Chris Livingston is now on the Washington Wizards' roster, a move detected Monday, Sep 28, with no signing report logged in advance. The 22-year-old forward heads into his fourth season with the team's payroll at $192.8 million, over the cap but under the tax.
The move
Chris Livingston joined the Washington Wizards roster as of Monday, Sep 28, according to the team's official roster. The 22-year-old forward arrives via free agency, with no prior roster to report a departure from. No transaction report logged the move in advance, so there is no outside source or confidence rating attached to it beyond the roster listing itself. Livingston enters his fourth professional season.
The money
Livingston's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and any term length are not confirmed. The Wizards carry $192.8 million in total payroll across 15 contracts for 2026-27. That puts Washington over the $165.0 million salary cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line, with the $209.0 million first apron and $221.7 million second apron both well out of range for now.
The fit
Livingston played three games last season, averaging 5.8 minutes, 3.0 points and 1.0 rebound. Washington's rotation last season included Kyshawn George at 29.0 minutes and 14.8 points, Leaky Black at 28.9 minutes and 7.1 points, and Bilal Coulibaly at 26.2 minutes and 11.7 points, with Julian Reese logging 30.9 minutes and 11.8 points. The Wizards now carry 22 players on the roster, above the 15-man standard limit, with three on two-way deals.
