The Washington Wizards reportedly came to terms on an agreement Tuesday to own and operate an NBA G League team beginning in 2018-19.

According to Todd Dybas of the Washington Times, the Wizards will become the 27th of 30 NBA teams to run their own G League affiliate.

As part of the agreement, Washington's G League team will play in a sports and entertainment arena that will be constructed on the St. Elizabeths campus, and is expected to be completed in September 2018.

The NBA announced Tuesday that it was changing the name of the NBA D-League to the G League in conjunction with a partnership with Gatorade.

It also announced that the G League will have 26 teams in 2017-18 after expanding from the 22 it boasted in 2016-17.
