Washington Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld announced Thursday that the team re-signed center Marcin Gortat.

"Re-signing Marcin was a top priority for us this summer so that we could maintain continuity and improve on what we accomplished last season," Grunfeld said in a team release. "His scoring ability, rebounding and defensive presence are matched only by his work ethic, leadership and personality, which all combine to make him an excellent fit in what we are trying to build moving forward." 

Though the team did not disclose the details, the deal was reported to be for five years and $60 million.

Gortat averaged 13.2 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 33 minutes per game last season with the Wizards.
