The Wizards released free agents Linton Johnson and DerMarr Johnson, Tuesday, bringing their roster to 15 players, the maximum the team can hold. Both players are NBA veterans who were signed on Sept. 22. DerMarr Johnson, a Prince George’s County native, was impressive in five preseason games, averaging 8.8 points. But the versatile 6-9 swingman faced an uphill battle, competing with free agent guards Juan Dixon and Dee Brown, who had signed partially guaranteed contracts.
