The Washington Wizards continued an active week on Wednesday afternoon, trading center Jonas Valanciunas to the Sacramento Kings.
In exchange for the 32-year-old center, the Wizards will receive two second-round picks and Sidy Cissoko, a 20-year-old small forward and shooting guard.
The deal marked the second trade of the day for Washington, which had already agreed to send power forward Kyle Kuzma to the Milwaukee Bucks for All-Star forward Khris Middleton and rookie guard A.J. Johnson.
Cissoko, who is French, is the latest addition to a youth-focused Wizards squad. Johnson and Cissoko will join rookies Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George and Bub Carrington, along with second-year star Bilal Coulibaly.
