BREAKING: Kyle Kuzma Makes Stunning Decision In Free Agency

As soon as he opted out of his $13M player option, there were many teams around the league interested in signing blossoming Washington Wizards star Kyle Kuzma. Now, as free agency has officially begun, he's made the surprising decision to return to the rebuilding Wizards on a massive 4-year deal.

It's a 4-year, $102M deal, nearly doubling his annual salary to over $25M. 

With Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis having been traded, Kuzma now takes over as the one and only face of the Wizards. They are his team now, solely and completely.

Kuzma broke through with a 21-point season this year, a career-high, along with 7.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists.
