Temple guard Khalif Wyatt worked out for the Washington Wizards at the Verizon Center on Thursday.

He shared the court with Missouri's Keion Bell and Laurence Bowers, Syracuse's James Southerland, Ohio State's Deshaun Thomas, and Cal State Fullerton's D.J. Seeley. Wyatt also worked out with the Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets earlier this week.

"The workout with the Wizards went good," said Wyatt, a 6-foot-4 guard. "I was in a good group and played under some really talented coaches, and they pushed me during the entire workout. It was a great opportunity."

According to an NBA source, Wyatt will work out for the 76ers on June 20 at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. Wyatt is also expected to work out for the Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers, and Dallas Mavericks.

"All of my workouts have been going well," said Wyatt, of Norristown. "I'm just trying to show everybody that I got better and that I'm progressing."

St. Joseph's forward C.J. Aiken, from Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, and Bucknell big man Mike Muscala, a Conestoga High graduate, worked out with the Wizards on Friday. Aiken has been contacted by the Sixers, but his workout date has not been set.
