Former lottery pick and free agent guard Kris Dunn will participate in the Wizards’ mini-camp this weekend, Josh Robbins of The Athletic tweets. Dunn was the fifth pick of the 2017 draft
He spent one season with the Timberwolves and three with the Bulls before joining the Hawks during the 2020-21 season, where he only saw action for four games due to an ankle injury. He struggled to get another NBA job last season until March, when he received a 10-day contract with Portland. He finished last season with the Trail Blazers, averaging 7.6 PPG and 5.6 APG in 24 MPG over 14 games.
