The Wizards have signed 24-year old point guard Shaun Livingston to a 10-day contract. Livingston played in 10 games (0 starts) earlier this season for the Thunder and he averaged 13.0 minutes, 1.0 point, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He has now played in 167 games (61 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 25.8 minutes, 6.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. If he is healthy Livingston could help the Wizards.
The Wizards have bought out center Zydrunas Ilgauskas. This saves the Wizards money will allowing Ilgauskas to sign with a contender. It’s most likely that he will wait 30 days and re-sign with the Cavaliers. But that is not a slam dunk as teams like the Hawks, Mavericks, Jazz and Nuggets will be able to sign him starting on Thursday.
The Wizards have lost SG/SF Josh Howard for the remainder of the season as he tore his ACL in the win over the Bulls last night.

Overall this season, Howard played in 35 games (12 starts) for the Wizards and Mavericks and he averaged 26.2 minutes, 12.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. This is a big loss for the Wizards going forward.

McGee has now played in 32 games (4 starts) for the Wizards this season and he is averaging 9.9 minutes, 3.1 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.1 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game.

23-year old power forward Andray Blatche has moved into the starting lineup because of the trades the Wizards recently made and he is taking advantage of it big time.
