The Washington Wizards announced today that the team has signed 5'5" free agent guard Earl Boykins and waived C/F Paul Davis.
“Earl is a proven veteran point guard who will provide us with leadership and stability off of the bench,” said Grunfeld.
Boykins has career averages of 9.4 points and 3.4 assists (2.8 to 1 assist to turnover ratio) in 520 career games over 10 NBA seasons. Undrafted out of Eastern Michigan, Boykins has also played for New Jersey, Cleveland, Orlando, L.A. Clippers, Golden State, Denver, Milwaukee and Charlotte. His best season as a professional came during the 2006-07 campaign when he averaged 14.6 points and 4.4 assists while shooting .898 (220-245) from the free throw line in 66 contests with Denver and Milwaukee. Boykins played for Virtus Bologna of the Italian A League in 2008-09.
Davis appeared in two games for Washington this season and averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 assists in 4.0 minutes per game.
Wizards have been hampered with injuries from its top players in Antawn Jamison, Randy Foye, and Mike Miller.
