The Spurs traded Branham, Blake Wesley and a 2026 second-round pick to the Wizards in exchange for Kelly Olynyk (heel) on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Branham is set to join Washington, though he isn't guaranteed significant playing time in a crowded backcourt. The 22-year-old appeared in 47 regular-season games with San Antonio last season, averaging 5.0 points and 1.1 rebounds while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from downtown across a career-low 9.1 minutes per contest.
