Agent: Wizards Won’t Amnesty Lewis

The agent for Rashard Lewis said the Washington Wizards told him they don’t plan to use the league’s amnesty clause on the forward.

Lewis is the NBA’s second highest-paid player, trailing only Kobe Bryant with a $21.1 million salary this season and $22.7 million in 2012-13. The proposed amnesty rule in the new labor agreement would allow the Wizards to waive Lewis and remove the money owed him from the team salary for cap and tax purposes.
