The Washington Wizards have reassigned Glen Rice Jr. to the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League.

This marks Rice's second assignment to Iowa this season.

Rice has appeared in 11 games, including one start, for Washington this season while averaging 2.9 points in 10 minutes per game.

The Washington Wizards have signed Drew Gooden to a 10-day contract. 

“We will rely on all of our frontcourt players to step up and contribute as we go through this stretch without Nene,” said Grunfeld. “Signing Drew gives us size, shooting ability and experience to add to that mix.”

Gooden (6-10, 230) has played 11 seasons with Memphis, Orlando, Cleveland, Chicago, Sacramento, San Antonio, Dallas, the Los Angeles Clippers and Milwaukee, appearing in 687 career regular season games (493 starts) while averaging 11.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 27.0 minutes per contest. 

Gooden will wear No. 90 for the Wizards.

"I got 90," said Gooden to Michael Lee of the Washington Post. "They said I got to let 0 cool off for a second."

Gilbert Arenas wore No. 0 for the Wizards, but was traded to the Orlando Magic in 2010.

With Nene out until at least April, the Washington Wizards are likely to sign Drew Gooden to a 10-day contract.

Gooden was waived by the Milwaukee Bucks in July using the amnesty provision.

Nene was diagnosed with a sprain of his left MCL on Monday and is expected to miss approximately six weeks for the Washington Wizards.

The injury to Nene's knee in Sunday night's game was feared to be potentially season-ending.

Nene has been a consistent presence this season for the Wizards, who are positioned to make the playoffs.

Nene has appeared in 49 games, averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.24 steals in 30.1 minutes.

Nene suffered a left knee injury in Sunday night's win over the Cleveland Cavaliers and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the ailment.

Nene's Washington Wizards teammates hoped for the best.

“It’s too early to say, but we’re all scared. We’re hoping it’s nothing serious,” Marcin Gortat said. “It was really hard. But we’ve seen that if we play good defense, if everybody is engaged and locked in, we are a good team. We kind of forgot that Nene was missing, and we’re glad we got that win.”

Nene is averaging 14.4 points and 5.8 rebounds this season.

The Washington Wizards have agreed to acquire Andre Miller in a three-team trade with the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers.

Miller has been away from the Denver Nuggets for more than a month following his confrontation with Brian Shaw.

The Nuggets will acquire Jan Vesley, while the 76ers get Eric Maynor and two second round picks.

The Wizards will send a second round pick to the 76ers next year and the Nuggets will send the other second rounder in 2016.

The Washington Wizards are reportedly among the clubs discussing a possible Luol Deng trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Washington tried to acquire Deng from the Chicago Bulls last June.

It was reported on Wednesday that the Cavaliers were discussing Deng with the Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers.

Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports that the two sides have discussed a Deng deal involving Trevor Ariza.

Ken Berger of CBS Sports reports that the Cavaliers have shifted away seeking a first round pick for Deng and are looking instead for a veteran in return.

Rodrigue Beaubois did not sign with a team before the season because he underwent surgery to repair a fractured second metacarpal in his left hand. It was the third time he’s had the procedure done.

Beaubois is fully healthy and will begin workouts with a handful of NBA teams next week.

Beaubois has received interest from the Memphis Grizzlies and Washington Wizards.

The Milwaukee Bucks are hearing from several teams about a potential deal involving Luke Ridnour.

The Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards are among the teams expressing interest in the 11-year veteran.

Ridnour is averaging 5.7 points and 3.4 assists.

The New York Knicks are receiving interest in Beno Udrih in trade talks from the San Antonio Spurs and Washington Wizards.

Udrih hasn't been played by Mike Woodson for nine straight games and has requested a trade, which the Knicks will try to accommodate.
