Temple exercised his player option for the 2015-16 season, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

Temple served as the replacement in the starting five when Bradley Beal was afflicted by injury but otherwise garnered little run in the backcourt rotation. In 18 starts last season, Temple averaged 7.2 points (on 37 percent shooting), 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.3 three-pointers in 26 minutes. However, he merely made 34 appearances the rest of the campaign, which signifies his role with the Wizards.
