Report: Wizards to sign Boykins [Updated]
Wizards guard Randy Foye sprained his right ankle during Tuesday's game
against the Miami Heat. And guards Javaris Crittenton, Mike James and Mike
Miller were already out with injuries.
Boykins, 33, spent last season in Europe playing for Virtus Bologna in
Italy's top division.
Michael Lee is flying back from Miami and will have more information soon.

His name is Earl
When training camp began, the concern was what the Wizards were going to do
with so many guards. They had a logjam and the battle for minutes was going
to be so intense, blah blah blah. I guess we should've known that those
problems would be handled the Wizards Way -- through some unfortunate
injuries.
First, Javaris Crittenton went down, then Mike Miller, then Mike James, then
Randy Foye, leaving the Wizards with just Gilbert Arenas, DeShawn Stevenson
and Nick Young to play in the backcourt. And with the way Young has been
playing lately, that really left them with just Arenas and Stevenson. With
Crittenton, James and Foye sidelined, the Wizards really had to look for some
options at point guard --- especially since there is absolutely no need to
wear down Arenas this early in the season.
Arenas has played more minutes than anyone else on the Wizards this season
(295), which is crazy when you consider that he has hardly played the past
two seasons. He's averaging 36.9 minutes per game, which doesn't sound like
much, but his second half finishes against Phoenix and Miami -- in which he
shot a combined 4 of 16 with 12 turnovers -- was evidence that a move had to
be made. Paul Davis was the one who got cut --- and no, it had nothing to do
with him losing one-on-one games against assistant Sam Cassell.
So, say hello to little Earl Boykins, who has career averages of 9.4 points
and 3.4 assists. He is no stranger to backing up Arenas, having played with
him and Antawn Jamison at Golden State in 2002-03 (when Arenas won the most
improved award). He's also played with New Jersey, his hometown Cleveland
Cavaliers, Orlando, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver, Milwaukee and Charlotte.
For a franchise that already had Muggsy Bogues, the 5-foot-5 Boykins should
become an immediate hit if he can be that explosive, offensive jitterbug that
he's been for most of his career. Boykins is back in the NBA after spending
last season playing for Virtus Bologna of the Italian A League, which
possibly worked out in his favor. Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld was
actually in Italy last summer scouting Brandon Jennings when Jennings' team
was facing Virtus Bologna. Apparently, he still has something left.
"Earl is a proven veteran point guard who will provide us with leadership and
stability off of the bench," said Grunfeld in a statement.
Today was a pretty rough day for me with travel problems and even more
traumatic computer problems. I wish I could've gotten you guys the news about
Boykins as soon as I found out, but sometimes things are out of our control
in this business. I'll get my computer fixed on Thursday, as if any of you
guys care.
季初时巫师原本有很多後卫
不过一个接着一个受伤了
Arenas是本季巫师打最久的球员
所以巫师队决定与Boykins签约
Boykins生涯平均9.4分
欢迎Boykins回到NBA
