The Wizards will take no more than 14 players with them to Las Vegas for summer league after releasing four players on Sunday night. After the first two days of mini-camp, the Wizards decided to cut former Wizard James Lang, Notre Dame swingman and son of former assistant Randy Ayers, Ryan Ayers, Villanova's Dwayne Anderson and St. Mary's forward Diamon Simpson. The Wizards might settle for just 12 players, since I heard that two more players could get cut after practice on Monday. Lang spoke at ...
