Free-agent forward Mike Scott is finalizing a one-year, $1.7 million contract with the Washington Wizards, according to league sources.
Scott has played his entire five-year NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks, averaging 7.1 points and 3.0 rebounds and 33.6 percent shooting from 3-point range.
Last season, he had a knee injury and played in only 18 games with the Hawks before being traded to the Phoenix Suns, who waived him.
