Although the Washington Wizards went undefeated in the Morris Almond era, they’ve played some pretty solid basketball during the Toure’ Murry era.

After Garrett Temple became sidelined with an hamstring injury, Ernie Grunfeld opted to call up Toure’ Murry from the NBA Developmental League. Murry, like Temple, is a defensive specialist and is capable of playing multiple positions. Instead of signing Will Bynum or Bobby Brown, who were both linked to the Wizards in the rumor mill, Randy Wittman felt most comfortable with bringing Toure’ Murry on board.

The Wizards have won five of their last six games and Toure’ Murry hasn’t gotten much playing time. Still, with Temple out, having a player available on the bench is necessary. According to J.Michael of CSN Washington, Toure’ Murry will get a second 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards:

Even though he has only received actual playing time in one game for the Wizards after Friday night’s matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers, Toure’ Murry will be signed to a second 10-day contract, a person with knowledge of the situation told CSNwashington.com, on Sunday.

As J.Michael also pointed out, the Wizards will have to decide whether or not to keep Toure’ Murry for the remainder of the season and the NBA Playoffs after his second 10-day contract expires. They decided to sign Drew Gooden after his second 10-day contract expired last season and did the same with Rasual Butler at the beginning of the current season.

Toure’ Murry is in a different situation, though.

Gooden and Butler made significant impact when they were originally signed. Gooden received a lot of playing time with Nene out and made the most of his opportunity. Butler also took advantage of an opportunity with Martell Webster out at the beginning of the season. While Temple has been a part of Washington’s rotation, Murry hasn’t gotten much of a chance to prove himself on the court.

With that said, Murry has always worked hard and he’s always seen cheering on his teammates from the bench. That certainly doesn’t mean he’ll get signed for the remainder of the season, but if the rest of the locker room enjoys having him around, then he could stick around after his next 10-day contract expires.

Washington was also reportedly interested in signing Will Bynum, but a hamstring injury sidelined him as well. Bynum is still on their radar, but with the season coming to an end very soon, it might make more sense to keep Murry around.
