Washington Wizards reserve guard Jordan McRae will remain on the injured list for at least two more weeks after undergoing a second surgery on his right ring finger. Luckily for him, though, he no longer has to worry about his contract.
The Wizards intend to fully guarantee the remaining $1.6 million of McRae’s salary, according to several people close to the player, meaning McRae will not be waived by the Dec. 20 deadline.
McRae, a well-traveled 28-year-old, started his second season with the Wizards as a backup to all-star guard Bradley Beal. During the Oct. 23 regular season opener against the Dallas Mavericks, McRae fractured the tip of his right ring finger.
