Wizards forward Al Thornton will become a restricted free agent after the season.

Billy Duffy, Thornton's agent, said on Tuesday that his client would not sign an extension by next Monday's deadline.

"I think Al's about to go to a whole other level and I think the way he's perceived right now, I think there is going to be an ability to enhance his reputation around the league and within that organization," Duffy said.

"I don't think he's had enough time there to really demonstrate what his new value will be moving forward. I think he has a huge upside and will have a huge role on that team."
