Waiver effective in Washington
The Washington Wizards have waived KeShawn Murphy effective September 27. The move is already listed as effective: it is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and the forward leaves the first team ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The transaction appears in the NBA.com official record and was picked up by RealGM, which placed the waiver alongside the Exhibit 10 signings of Reece Beekman, Trevor Keels, Chris Livingston and Steve Settle III on the same day. None of the references published salary figures, a detailed length or contract clauses.
KeShawn Murphy profile and fit
Murphy, a forward signed to an Exhibit 10 deal the previous week, arrived at training camp as depth for the interior rotation. His profile offered size inside and preseason minutes without tying up a standard roster spot.
What it means for the roster
For Washington, the immediate effect is an open training-camp spot after locking in four camp additions. Murphy becomes a free agent and could continue his development around the Capital City Go-Go, although the club has not announced a further step directly linked to this exit.
