Labissière was the 28th pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

He played the first two and a half seasons of his career for the Kings.

The 29-year-old has also spent time with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Labissière has career averages of 7.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists per contest while shooting 49.2% from the field and 36.0% from the three-point range in 152 games.

He also appeared in three NBA playoff games (for the Trail Blazers).

Via Greg Finberg of Bullets Forever: "Labissiere, 29, spent Summer League with the Orlando Magic. Averaged 16.1 points and 8.2 rebounds in the G League last season.

Possible Exhibit-10 contract candidate who could later sign with the Capital City Go-Go."

The Wizards finished last season as the 15th seed in the Eastern Conference with an 18-64 record.

They missed the 2025 NBA playoffs (and the play-in tournament).
