The Washington Wizards have been granted a $4.37-million disabled player exception for C.J. Miles, according to The Athletic's Fred Katz.
The swingman underwent surgery in early December to repair ligament damage in his left wrist. He remains out indefinitely.
The disabled player exception helps make up for the long-term loss of Miles by allowing Washington to go over the salary cap to acquire a player whose contract expires following the 2019-20 campaign.
The 32-year-old Miles appeared in 10 games this season before going down, averaging 6.4 points, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 rebounds.
He's also dealt with hip, knee, and foot ailments this year.
