Wizards coach Flip Saunders says that the team will likely keep Shaun Livingston around.

Sunday is the last day of Livingston's current contract with Washington. He still working back from yet another knee surgery.

"We'll continue to try to get him some time," Saunders said. "Shaun gets assists where he makes something out of nothing and he's the one guy on our team who can do that. He can really pass. He sees guys opening before they even know they are open. That's why everyone thought at the time, before he got hurt, that he had a chance to be one of the greatest at his position."

Former Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy, who had Livingston for his first three seasons, remembers when the point guard first hurt his knee.

"He went down right in front of our bench and soon as it happened, I thought 'Oh my God. How bad is this for this kid?' " Dunleavy said. "He had big-time promise. I coached Magic Johnson and other than Magic, I've never seen or been around a guy with that size, the vision, the ability to deliver the basketball, IQ, understanding of the game. He really got it."
