Jordan has a record of 196-214 in five seasons in Washington and is the NBA's third-longest-serving head coach behind Utah's Jerry Sloan and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich.

He has led the team to the playoffs in each of the last four seasons.

"Eddie has done an outstanding job and has been instrumental in making us a perennial playoff team," Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said.
