Wizards decline option on Jabari Parker’s contract, per report

It was anticipated when they acquired him from the Chicago Bulls last season. But it’s now officially official.

The Washington Wizards have declined the 2019-20 option on Jabari Parker’s contract, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.

Parker, 24, averaged 15.0 points and 7.2 rebounds while shooting at a 52 percent clip from the field in 25 games with Washington.

The former No. 2 overall pick was set to count $20 million against the cap next season. While Washington still does covet him, that cap hit was too much.

Parker will now enter what promises to be a robust free-agent market next month.
