Report: Wizards seriously considering signing Ty Lawson

Kelley L Cox / USA TODAY Sports

The Washington Wizards are getting desperate.

Washington is seriously considering signing free-agent guard Ty Lawson, who played in the Chinese Basketball Association last year, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

Injuries have decimated the Wizards' depth at point guard. John Wall remains on crutches after having knee surgery, Tim Frazier had facial surgery over the weekend, and Tomas Satoransky had to get stitches and undergo concussion testing after getting banged up last week.

The 30-year-old Lawson last appeared in the NBA during the 2016-17 season. He made 69 appearances for the Sacramento Kings and averaged 9.9 points per game while shooting 45.4 percent from the field and a ghastly 28.8 percent from deep.
