Dajuan Wagner is making a basketball comeback and has signed with the Philadelphia Spirit of the American Basketball Association.

Wagner, 31, last played in the NBA in November 2006.

"I need to get some good up-and-down going," Wagner said. "I've got to get my feet wet and see where I'm at."

Wagner played one season at Memphis and was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Wagner said he was contacted by a couple of teams in the NBA Development League after word of his comeback plans became public.
