The Washington Wizards will be the latest team to take a flyer on Jeff Green, while the former Georgetown forward will get a chance to redeem his career at home.
The Wizards, according to multiple reports, agreed Tuesday to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with Green, who spent last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hyattsville, Maryland native played for the Hoyas from 2004-07.
Green, drafted fifth overall in 2007 by the Seattle Supersonics, has had a turbulent journey in the NBA. After looking like a potential star alongside Kevin Durant in Seattle (and later Oklahoma City), the 31-year-old has bounced around the league.
