Guard Jodie Meeks exercised his $3.5 million contract option to return to the Washington Wizards for the 2018-19 season, league sources told ESPN.
Meeks will serve the remaining 19 games of a 25-game suspension for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy to start the season.
Meeks, 30, played 77 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 14.5 minutes and 6.3 points a game.
Meeks tested positive for banned compounds ipamorelin and growth hormone releasing peptide-2, his attorney Ben Levine told ESPN in April.
