Wizards interested in free agent Ray Allen

The Wizards contacted Ray Allen early in the free agent process to gauge his interest in signing, CSNwashington.com has confirmed with two people with knowledge of the situation Tuesday.

Allen, however, has yet to notify his agent, Jim Tanner, if he intends to even play a 19th NBA season.

The 39-year-old shooting guard averaged a career low 9.6 points per game with the Miami Heat last season before becoming a free agent.
