Larry Owens is an American professional basketball player. He is now a Small Forwards for the Washington Wizards of the NBA.
Career history:
Stade Clermontois (2006–2007)
Liège Basket (2007–2009)
Tulsa 66ers (2009–2011)
San Antonio Spurs (2011)
Washington Wizards (2011–present)
Owens was called up by the San Antonio Spurs from the Tulsa 66ers of the D-League on a 10-day contract, on January 16, 2011.
He made his NBA debut on that same day against the Denver Nuggets, picking up an assist and a rebound in two minutes of playing time. Owens was signed to a second 10-day contract on January 26, having played five games for the franchise by then.Owens appeared in only two further games and on February 5, as his contract with the Spurs expired, he rejoined the Tulsa 66ers.
Owens was called up again on April 6, 2011 by the Washington Wizards for the remainder of the season.
Owens averaged 12.4 points and 5.0 rebounds with Tulsa and also saw some time with the Spurs this season. The move makes sense for Washington as they have six players out for the season. While Owens could get some playing time down the stretch, he is not a player to be picked up in any Fantasy league. He can also be ignored on Draft Day next season.
