Wizards Re-Sign Forward Anthony Gill Amid Community Recognition

The Washington Wizards have officially re-signed forward Anthony Gill, the team announced on Thursday. This move comes as the Wizards look to solidify their roster ahead of the upcoming season. Gill has been a part of the Wizards for four seasons, during which he has participated in 179 games and made 15 starts. Throughout his tenure with the Wizards, Gill has averaged 3.6 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. His contributions on the court have been complemented by his significant impact off the court, as he has been recognized for his community service efforts. In April, he received the E.B. Henderson Team Award, highlighting his commitment to community engagement. Gill's dedication to civic responsibility has also earned him a spot as one of five finalists for the prestigious 2023-24 J.
