The Washington Wizards have added depth to the frontcourt with the signing of forward Kris Humphries.

In a press release, Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld shared his thoughts on the signing:

Kris is a proven veteran and will be a versatile addition to our frontcourt, giving us the option to use him as either a power forward or a center. His ability to run the floor, rebound and score from both inside and outside make him a good fit for our roster.

The deal is reportedly worth $13 million over three seasons. Humphries averaged 8.4 points and 5.9 rebound last season.

Humphries was acquired via a sign-and-trade, in which the Wizards will yield a heavily protected second-round pick. The Celtics will also get a $4.3 million trade exception in the deal.
