James will get extra playing time during the preseason after Brad Beal (fractured wrist) and Glen Rice (sprained ankle) suffered injuries, CSN Washington's J. Michael reports.

Rice may be back for the start of the season but Beal is out for 6-to-8 weeks. James, Rasual Butler and Xavier Silas have thus seen their chances to make the roster improve, though none of the bunch figures to have a huge role, as the Wizards will likely use point guard Garrett Temple and small forward Otto Porter to cover some of Beal's minutes.

James signed with the Wizards on Thursday, RealGM reports.

It's likely just a training camp deal for the Texas product, who has bounced around since being selected in the first round by the Nets in 2010. James saw time in five games for the Spurs last season, making one start and averaging 1.2 points and 2.4 rebounds.

Damion James started against the Rockets on Monday with six points, nine boards, two assists, one block and one turnover in 29 minutes.

Yep, it was that kind of party for the Spurs with several players getting plenty of rest tonight. Coach Gregg Popovich joked about James earlier this season when he joined them and was asked about how the forward will help. "If we're ahead by 20 or down by 20, we might find out," Popovich said. James made his 17th start of his career tonight.

The Spurs announced on Sunday that they have signed F Damion James for the rest of the season.

James has appeared in three games for the Spurs, and has averaged 1.0 rebound in 3.3 minutes. He is not a fantasy asset in any league.

Spurs sign F Damion James.

With the Spurs playing the second half of a back-to-back set tonight, then another one on Apr. 10 and 11, it makes sense to add James to their roster. They may have lost Austin Daye for a bit with a lat strain and James should see some time on the court as soon as tonight. He might actually guard college teammate Kevin Durant for some point during tonight's game.

Damion James will sign a 10-day deal with the Spurs.

The first thing to come to mind here is that Austin Daye's lat strain could cost him time. The Spurs are going to rest some players over the next two weeks, so added healthy depth is high on the priority list. For all we know, James could get a couple starts, but he's not worth owning in almost any league yet.

Damion James will be in training camp with the Nuggets on an non-guaranteed invite.

James last played for the Nets and has seen his career slowed down by a foot injury that has been tough to overcome. He's reportedly healthy but whether or not he lands on an NBA roster remains to be seen. His chances of making the Nuggets' final roster aren't great, but it could happen if he has a great camp.

Damion James said that his surgically-repaired right foot is "100 percent, ready to go," and he's eager to land a new NBA contract.

James played for Miami's Summer League team but hasn't yet been invited to training camp, much less offered a guaranteed deal. He averaged 15.7 points and 6.4 rebounds in the D-League last year but shot just 41.2 percent from the field, and will need to prove he can stay healthy after having two foot surgeries in two seasons.

Damion James will head back to the D-League after the Nets chose not to re-sign him.

James' 10-day contract expired and the Nets will let him walk. It's possible that James could resurface in the league at some point, but he'll go back to the D-League for now.

Nets sign SF Damion James to a 10-day contract.

James was with the Nets for two injury-plagued seasons before going unsigned as an unrestricted FA this summer. There's too much competition in Brooklyn to think that he'll have a substantial role on a temporary deal.

Hawks waive Damion James.

James' NBA career has thus far been derailed by foot surgeries. The Hawks were reportedly "impressed" by him this preseason, but not enough to keep him around on a guaranteed contract.

Damion James has "impressed" in the preseason and could have a leg up for a roster spot.

James is on a "make good" contract, and because he can contribute on the wing and is relatively young, it wouldn't be surprising to see him stick around as depth.

Damion James and James Anderson will compete for a roster spot in training camp.

Both 2010 first-round picks need a fresh start, but it sounds like only one will make the final roster. With the team looking to "fill the role of defensive-minded wing," the two players will battle it out to be a part of the second unit. Neither is a fantasy option.

The Hawks and SF Damion James have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, according to Yahoo! Sports.

Injuries have derailed James each of his two seasons in the NBA -- he appeared in only 32 total games for the Nets, averaging 4.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 0.6 blocks in 18 minutes per game. Those per-minute stats are intriguing, but his outlook is dimmed by all the competition at SF in Atlanta (Josh Smith, Anthony Morrow, DeShawn Stevenson).

The Nets will do their "due diligence" on unrestricted FA Damion James.

James is expected to visit one more team in the coming days before making a decision on where he'll land. Injuries have limited James to just 32 regular season games through the first two seasons of his career.

Damion James will visit one more team this weekend and then make his decision.

No word yet if this James decision will be a nationally-televised event. No matter where his talents wind up, the Longhorn has struggled to stay healthy and won't be a noteworthy contributor this season.

The Nets "have spoken" to unrestricted free agent Damion James about returning to the team, a source tells the New York Post.

Brooklyn is looking for ways to round out the roster, and James could be a low-risk option at the back end of the bench. The No. 24 pick from the 2010 class is searching to find his role in the league after two injury-plagued seasons with the Nets.

Damion James (foot surgery) has shed his walking boot.

James is out for the season and the Nets are not expected to bring him back next year. The 2010 No. 24 overall pick will have to prove his health in a training camp next season.

Damion James returned to action on Thursday March 22.

Nets will not pick up the contract option of F Damion James.

No surprise here, as James has missed huge portions of both his first two years as he deals with ongoing problems in his surgically-repaired foot. He'll look to latch on with another team in the offseason.
