Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma declines player option, to hit free agency

Kyle Kuzma, the forward for the Washington Wizards, has made the decision to decline his $13 million player option and become a free agent, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. This move will make Kuzma one of the most sought-after free agents in the upcoming NBA season.

Kuzma played a key role in the Wizards' 2020-2021 season, averaging 12.9 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. His versatility and ability to play multiple positions make him an attractive option for many teams in need of a forward.

With Kuzma's decision to hit free agency, the NBA offseason just got a little more interesting. It remains to be seen which teams will make a push for the talented forward, but one thing is for sure - Kuzma will have no shortage of suitors.
