James Singleton didn't flop in Washington

"James Singleton watched the video on his Blackberry before a game in Cleveland and grew incensed. Charlotte Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas struck him in the face with an errant elbow during a Wizards win and Singleton heard an ESPN announcer call him out for flopping. The replay was pretty clear. Singleton fell to the floor as Thomas's right elbow whiffed several inches from face. But Singleton was furious because the replay failed to show the left elbow that actually clocked him in the head and caused him to fall backward (Thomas even acknowledged that he hit him). Singleton shot up from his seat, started shouting in the locker room. "I can't believe this," Singleton said. "They're saying"

It will be a homecoming of sorts for rookie Chris Singleton. From Canton, Ga., Singleton said he received dozens of messages from family and friends who were excited to see him make his NBA debut, but he is only thinking about wins and losses."
James Singleton leaves Wizards for China
September 7

"James Singleton determined that he would have more to gain (such as money and playing time) in leaving the NBA than sticking around for another shot next season. Singleton, a throw-in from the Wizards' trade deadline deal with Dallas last February who emerged as a regular rotation player, said on Monday that he signed to play next season in China with the Xinjiang Gyang Hui Flying Tigers. The Wizards had some interest in bringing back Singleton, an undersized but energetic, high-flying forward who averaged 6.1 points and 6.9 rebounds in 32 games -- including three starts -- after arriving in Washington. Singleton had seven games with at least 10 rebounds, including a career-high"
