The Washington Wizards will host former Maryland guard D.J. Strawberry for a workout on Friday at Verizon Center. Strawberry, who averaged 14.9 points and 3.5 assists for the Terrapins as a senior last season, has been projected as a possible late second-round pick in the June 28 draft. The Wizards hold the 16th and 47th picks. . . .
Two leagues sources yesterday said there was no truth to a recently reported rumor that the Wizards and Phoenix Suns have discussed a trade that would send forward Antawn Jamison to the Suns for forward Shawn Marion. Jamison, who is entering his fourth season with the Wizards, will earn $16.3 million next season in the final year of his contract and can become a free agent next summer.
Marion, whose name has been included in trade rumors involving several teams, is scheduled to earn $16.4 million next season and has a player option worth $17.1 million in 2008-09. . . .
Wizards all-star forward Caron Butler is hosting a basketball camp at Bishop McNamara High School in Forestville through Friday.
