The Washington Wizards waived Martell Webster this morning in order to make room for Ryan Hollins on their roster. With Nene Hilario and Drew Gooden currently sidelined, Washington was in need of an extra big man with 3 games on the schedule to be played over a span of the 4 days.
About 10 days ago, Webster underwent season-ending hip surgery to repair damaged cartilage and a partially torn labrum. Since he wasn't going to appear in a game for the rest of the season and his contract provided he needed to play in at least 70 games, this was going to be his final year with the Wizards.
