Wizards bench DeShawn Stevenson, which could open the way for Randy Foye

"Randy Foye felt like he was in familiar territory when the Washington Wizards' team plane landed at Dulles International Airport early Sunday. On his drive home, the former Minnesota resident noticed that the entire area was blanketed with snow.

"It felt just like Minnesota. We was getting 20 inches every other week. Nothing new at all," Foye said after practice on Monday, wearing a black wool coat, stocking cap and scarf, as he prepared to leave Verizon Center and brave the weather once more.

But when the Wizards host former coach Eddie Jordan and the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, Foye may again find himself in another position he had grown accustomed to in three seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves -- as a starting guard.

Coach Flip Saunders announced that he would pair either Foye or Nick Young in the back court with Gilbert Arenas instead of the ineffective DeShawn Stevenson, who shot just 2 for 16 (12.5 percent) while starting the past five games, with the Wizards (8-17) going just 1-4 during that stretch.

Should Foye get the nod, it would be the Wizards' 11th different starting lineup this season. With regular starting shooting guard Mike Miller missing three games with a left shoulder strain and the past 13 games with a right calf strain, Saunders has been juggling players at the spot, including Young, Stevenson and Foye. The Wizards are 1-1 with Foye as the starter this season and he is averaging 16.5 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds in those contests. "
