Adam Morrison accepts invitation to Wizards training camp

Adam Morrison, whom Jordan selected with the third pick in 2006, has accepted a training camp invitation on a make-good contract with the Wizards, according to two league sources.

Morrison is hoping to work his way back into relevance after being an afterthought on the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Morrison's career hasn't been the same since suffering a season-ending knee injury before his second season in Charlotte. He has career averages of 7.5 points and 2.1 rebounds, but has played just 79 games the past three seasons with the Bobcats and Lakers.

He has won two championships with the Lakers, but in an interview last July, Morrison expressed a desire to get back on the court. He was unable to crack the rotation in Los Angeles, where Trevor Ariza and then Ron Artest held down the small forward position, with Luke Walton serving as the primary backup.

Morrison worked out for several teams in Las Vegas, including the Wizards, and an individual workout with Coach Flip Saunders. "I haven't played basically in two years, so I'm just looking for a place to get some quality minutes and try to get back in that rhythm again," Morrison said in Las Vegas.
