Wizards re-sign veteran forward Drew Gooden

Veteran forward Drew Gooden has re-signed with the Washington Wizards on a one-year contract, a source close to the situation confirmed.

Gooden found a home in the District during the early portion of the 2013-14 season when he moved here with his girlfriend and gained access to the Wizards’ practice facilities in an effort to stay in shape after being amnestied by the Milwaukee Bucks in July.

The 12-year veteran averaged 6.8 points and 4.9 rebounds in 32 games for the Wizards last season.
