Lil’ Earl Boykins Headed to DC

The Wizards’ mounting injury problems have left them with no choice but to sign the diminutive and beloved point guard: “Down to one healthy point guard, the Washington Wizards signed 11th-year veteran Earl Boykins on Wednesday to back up Gilbert Arenas while the club waits for the healthy return of three other players at that position. ‘Earl is a proven veteran point guard who will provide us with leadership and stability off of the bench,’ Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said.”
