What happened: Washington opens the 2026-27 season Oct. 21 against Milwaukee at Capital One Arena. Exhibit 10 cycling ahead of the cut established G League affiliate rights for the campaign.

Why it matters: Gill's hold on the final standard spot keeps a seven-year veteran in the locker room. Beekman's two-way slot preserves backcourt depth without committing a standard contract.

What to watch: Washington hosts Milwaukee on Oct. 21 to begin the season.
