The Washington Wizards have signed J.J. Hickson. 

“Signing J.J. for the remainder of the season gives us another solid veteran who will bring more depth to our frontcourt,” said Ernie Grunfeld. “His experience, athletic ability and physical presence will be solid additions to our team as we continue our playoff push.“

Hickson (6-9, 242) has appeared in 519 career regular season games (307 starts) in seven-plus seasons with Cleveland, Sacramento, Portland and Denver. He has averaged 9.7 points and 6.9 rebounds while shooting .505 from the field. The former 19th overall selection in the 2008 NBA Draft averaged a double-double of 12.7 points and 10.4 rebounds in 80 games (all starts) during the 2012-13 season with Portland and posted 11.8 points and 9.2 rebounds in 69 games (52 starts) with Denver in 2013-14. Hickson appeared in 20 games (nine starts), with Denver this season, averaging 6.9 points and 4.4 rebounds before being waived on February 19.

The Washington Wizards are in advanced talks with J.J. Hickson on a prorated veteran's minimum contract for the remainder of the season.

Hickson is expected to sign the deal within the next few days.
