Former Syracuse player Chris McCullough to play for Washington's summer league team

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Hoping to gain more game experience, Chris McCullough will play on the Washington Wizards' team in the NBA's Las Vegas Summer League.

McCullough's agent, Stephen Pina, confirmed McCullough's plans to play this summer.

"He's going into his third year, but he didn't play (in the summer league) his first year,'' Pina said Monday. "He wants to play.''

The Las Vegas Summer League runs from July 7 to July 17. The Wizards' first game is on July 8 against Memphis. The game is at 1 p.m. and will be shown on ESPNU.

In his first two years as a pro, McCullough, the former Syracuse basketball player, played in just 40 games in the NBA.
