Wizards lock up Antwan Jamison

By Herald wire services

Two-time All-Star forward Antawn Jamison re-signed with the Washington Wizards yesterday, agreeing to a four-year, $50 million deal.

“I just signed. We got it out of the way,” Jamison told The Associated Press.

The contract clears the way for the team to focus on its other major free agent: three-time All-Star Gilbert Arenas. Arenas has said he would not return unless the team also re-signed Jamison.

“He said he’d take less money if they got me, and they got him,” Jamison said. “So I think everything will get worked out with Gilbert.”
