Corey Kispert Wants to Stay in Washington for the Long Haul

Before the start of the season, Kispert signed a four-year, $54 million contract extension to remain in Washington. Recently, the forward doubled down on his desire to stay with the Wizards.

“It’s unique to still only play for one team and organization,” Kispert said. “I feel really comfortable and definitely know my way around town. I know people in the building. That sort of thing goes unnoticed by somebody that doesn’t know much about the NBA, the way you can feel comfortable off the court and how it makes you feel more comfortable on it. Obviously, I love my job. I love what I do and to be able to say with a clear conscience that I love what I do every day, I’m definitely more blessed than a lot of other people.”

While the Wizards have had a few rough seasons in a row, there is a lot of potential there. Alex Sarr, last year’s No. 2 overall draft pick, has greatly come into his own. Additionally, Jordan Poole is having a career season, and players like Bub Carrington and Bilal Coulibaly have a lot of potential as well. At the trade deadline, the Wizards acquired veterans Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart. Next year, it will be interesting to see how they look in their first full season in Washington.

The Last Word

Kispert’s injury will not have an impact on the Wizards’ outlook for the rest of the season. They will not make the playoffs and are going to finish as a bottom team in the NBA. However, he should be able to return next year and make a big impact. The Wizards are not likely to make a playoff appearance as soon as next year. Even so, they are a team to monitor in the future.
