NBA free agency: Wizards, Garrett Temple agree on 1-year deal
The Washington Wizards shored up their backcourt depth by re-signing the 27-year-old.

Temple averaged 5.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game for the Wizards last season. A qualifying offer was not put on the table to begin the free agency moratorium, but the Wizards all along expected to re-sign the 27-year-old out of LSU.
Get Garrett
How Garrett Temple fits into the Wizards' plans Playing time could be hard to come by for a Washington team that has helped its perimeter depth in the last few days. On Tuesday, the Wizards re-signed swingman Martell Webster to a four-year, $22 million contract and also added backup point Eric Maynor to a two-year, $4 million deal. That duo will continue assisting young guards John Wall and Bradley Beal.
Washington also picked shooting guard Glen Rice Jr. in the second round of the draft, making Temple more insurance than anything.
