The Washington Wizards and shooting guard Bradley Beal have agreed on a five-year, $128 million deal, a person with direct knowledge of the contract confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the deal can't be formally signed until the free agency moratorium lifts on July 7.

Beal, who averaged 17.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game last season, has been hindered by injuries throughout his four-year career, but when healthy, has proven to be one of the league's top shooting guards.

His decision to re-sign doesn't come as a surprise, as the two parties were expected to finalize a maximum deal at some point on Friday afternoon, as USA TODAY Sports' Sam Amick reported early Friday morning.
