With only nine healthy player to work with, the Washington Wizards signed Larry Owens from the NBA Development League. They also Othyus Jeffers, who had been on a 10-day contract, for the rest of the season.

Owens, a 6-foot-7 forward, averaged 12.4 points and 5.0 rebounds with the Tulsa 76ers.

In order to make room for Owens, the Wizards released Cartier Martin whose season is  already over after he sustained a stress fracture in his left foot.
