Lewis and the Wizards agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract Wednesday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Lewis has yet to establish himself at the NBA level. A 2020 first-round pick, Lewis has had stints with the Pelicans, Raptors and Jazz, appearing in 131 career games while averaging 5.2 points, 1.8 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 13.3 minutes per contest. He'll get the chance to compete for a spot on the Wizards' 15-man roster as a reserve guard, but if he fails to make the cut, Washington would retain his G League rights.

Lewis will now be able to test the open market to find a new franchise. After Lewis was traded from the Raptors to the Jazz in 2023-24, he proceeded to make just 12 appearances with 3.8 points and 1.6 assists per game.

Jazz's Kira Lewis: Held scoreless Monday
Rotowire
Lewis chipped in one block in one minute during Monday's 115-105 loss to the Mavericks.
Lewis failed to score in the loss, unable to repeat his heroics from the previous game. He was coming off a 25-minute effort two days earlier, the most he has played all season. Despite moving from New Orleans to Toronto to Utah, it appears as though Lewis is going to struggle to carve out a meaningful role anytime soon.

Jazz's Kira Lewis: Cleared for Monday
Rotowire
Lewis doesn't appear on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.
After being acquired from the Raptors on Thursday, Lewis will be available to make his Jazz debut Monday. However, Lewis isn't projected to be a regular in head coach Will Hardy's rotation and may not see minutes if the game is competitive.
Lewis was traded from the Raptors to the Jazz along with Otto Porter and a 2024 first-round pick Thursday in exchange for Kelly Olynyk and Ochai Agbaji, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Lewis was traded from New Orleans to Toronto last month and has been shuffled between the parent club and G League in recent weeks. He hasn't been a significant part of any rotation in the NBA this year, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to carve out much more playing time with his new club.

Raptors' Kira Lewis: Back with Toronto
Rotowire
Toronto recalled Lewis from the G League's Raptors 905 on Sunday.
Lewis has yet to debut with Toronto after being acquired from New Orleans as part of Wednesday's trade that sent Pascal Siakam to Indiana. The 2020 first-round pick is unlikely to be part of the Toronto rotation and will likely only provide depth in the backcourt in Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Raptors' Kira Lewis: Officially cleared to debut
Rotowire
Lewis (recently traded) is available to make his debut for the Raptors in Thursday's game against the Bulls, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Lewis was included in the blockbuster three-team trade that sent Pascal Siakam to the Pacers, and he will suit up for the first time with his new team Thursday. However, as the third-string point guard behind Immanuel Quickley and Dennis Schroder, it is unlikely Lewis will see impactful minutes.
Lewis (trade pending) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.
Lewis was traded to the Raptors from New Orleans as part of the Pascal Siakam trade. While Lewis appears to be available Thursday, it's unclear if he will ultimately make his Raptors debut.
The Pelicans will send Lewis to Toronto as part of a three-team deal that is expected to be finalized Wednesday, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The Pacers are trading Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and three first-round picks to Toronto in exchange for Pascal Siakam, and the Pelicans got involved in an attempt to get below the luxury tax line. After averaging 16.7 minutes per game across 54 appearances as a rookie, Lewis has seen his playing time drop in three consecutive years, and he'll likely have a difficult time carving out a role in a backcourt that features Immanuel Quickley, Bruce Brown, Dennis Schroder, Gary Trent and Scottie Barnes.

Pelicans' Kira Lewis: Racks up two steals
Rotowire
Lewis recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two steals across 10 minutes during Wednesday's 110-106 victory over the Thunder.
Lewis tallied 11 points during Monday's blowout loss to the Warriors, his first double-digit scoring total of the season. While he was unable to replicate that production Wednesday, he logged his first two steals of the year. The 22-year-old hasn't had a very fantasy-relevant role early in the 2023-24 campaign, averaging just 4.5 points in 11.8 minutes per game.
