Center Marcin Gortat will re-sign with the Washington Wizards, ESPN.com's Marc Stein confirmed Tuesday night.

News of the deal was first tweeted by Wizards point guard John Wall.

Gortat agreed to a five-year deal worth a fully guaranteed $60 million, with neither a player nor a team option entering the final season.

The deal can't officially be signed until July 10 when the league moratorium is lifted.
