Former Gonzaga University star Adam Morrison of Mead has accepted a training camp invitation with the Washington Wizards, according to a Washington Post blogger Michael Lee, who quotes two league sources.

Morrison, who spent the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, worked out for several teams in Las Vegas, including the Wizards, and an individual workout with Wizards 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.

Morrison worked out for the Boston Celtics last week, but selected the Wizards because he hopes to find that rhythm in Saunders’s offense, according to a league source quoted by Lee. The same source said Morrison worked out at Verizon Center on Tuesday.

The Wizards have just 12 players under contract and president Ernie Grunfeld has mentioned that two or three roster spots could be available in training camp.

Training camp begins on Sept. 28.

    Maybe he can ride the pine in D.C. and win another ring.

    Oh wait, it’s the Wizards….

    Should have been loyal to his team and played his senior year at GU. Hope he saved some money.

    So we dog on politicians and banks for being financially imprudent, then hate on Ammo for being financially prudent. Keep living the dream Adam!

    Unless Morrison has gone on some unknown gambling binge, he has plenty of cash.

    Stay at GU? Why? He would have everything to lose by staying and risking injury, and nothing to gain other than the admiration of Spokanites.

    Dear Adam
    why don´t you come to Spain to play ? You will have lot of quality minutes and big competitiveness . For example Caja Laboral, they will play some pre-season games with NBA teams and is one of the top5 teams is Europe. Just Consider it.

    Caja Laboral is the teamhouse of Jose Calderon from Toronto Raptors, Luis Scola from Houston, TIago Spliter rookie of the Year 2010/2011 with the Spurs, Nocioni from Sacramento,, Raja Bell and many others played here.

    Good luck Adam. You have the talent and ability to play in the NBA. Look forward to seeing you drop some dimes soon.

    If Adam had the talent and ability in the NBA then he would be playing in the NBA. I’m surprised he hasn’t failed a drug test yet.

    If he wants minutes, Adam should be looking at Europe. There’s no room in the NBA for a quitter and whiner, like Adam was in that UCLA game.

    Should have never left a season early.

    And Sam Bradford being drafted #1 after missing the whole college football season with injury throws out the whole he wouldn’t have been drafted had he stayed and been hurt……if you have talent and you belong at the next level, they will draft you no matter what.
