Early Boykins played a successful season in Italy but the 33-year-old is now back in the NBA with the Wizards.

"I'm a rare NBA player," Boykins said. "I was out of the NBA, but as long as you're getting paid to play basketball, it's not that bad. I went to Europe and had some success over there, but I just didn't want to go back this year. I wanted to return to the NBA."
