Wizards Sign James Singleton To 10-Day Contract

The Washington Wizards have signed James Singleton to a 10-day contract, the team announced Thursday afternoon.

This will be Singleton's second go-around with the Wizards. He previously played 32 games for Washington during the 2009-10 season after being acquired from Dallas along with Drew Gooden, Josh Howard and Quinton Ross. In exchange, the Mavericks received Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson.

Singleton started three games for the Wizards, averaging 6.1 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. Prior to signing his current contract, Singleton last played for the Guandong Southern Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, for whom he averaged 17.8 points and 11.9 rebounds.

It is not clear if Singleton will be able to join the team in time for Thursday night's scheduled road game against the Detroit Pistons.
