The Wizards have signed 30-year old small forward James Singleton for the rest of the 2011-12 season. Singleton has played in 6 games (0 starts) for the Wizards so far this year and he is averaging 24.3 minutes, 9.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He is also shooting 56.1% from the floor so far this year for the Wizards, which is outstanding. It was a no brainer to sign Singleton for the remainder of the season as he has been outstanding off the bench for the Wizards.

The Wizards have signed 27-year old SG/SF Morris Almond. Almond was a first round pick back in 2007 for the Utah Jazz. He hasn’t played in the NBA since the 2008-09 season with the Jazz. He has played in 34 games (1 start) in his first two years in the NBA and he is averaging 8.6 minutes, 3.1 points, 0.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. The Wizards will likely give Almond a chance to prove himself off the bench the rest of this year.

The Wizards will be without 31-year old SG/SF Roger Mason for the rest of the year as he needs surgery on a finger. Mason played in 52 games (0 starts) for the Wizards this year and he averaged 13.4 minutes, 5.5 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. He only shot 39.9% from the floor this year. Despite Mason’s decent play of late, I don’t see him coming back to the Wizards for the 2012-13 season.

UPDATE: (4/16/2012) - The Wizards have waived Roger Mason to make room on the active roster for Morris Almond.

The Wizards were outscored 25-18 in the 4th quarter last night and it did them in. John Wall (19 points, 2 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) and Jordan Crawford (18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists) led the way for the Wizards last night. Kevin Seraphin (15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots), James Singleton (13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocked shots) and Jan Vesely (11 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot) also pitched in for the Wizards last night. The Wizards are now 14-46 on the year.

The Wizards forgot to show up at Madison Square Garden last night as they only shot 27.8% from the floor! Jordan Crawford only shot 6 of 20 from the floor but he still led the way for the Wizards with 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. Kevin Seraphin (12 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 5 blocked shots) and Roger Mason (11 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist in 31 minutes on the floor) also pitched in for the Wizards in this game. The Wizards are now 14-45 on the year.
