Washington Wizards forward Andray Blatche, a restricted free agent, was arrested early Thursday on sexual solicitation charges.
Blatche, 20, and a man identified in court documents as Gregory Palmer, tried to solicit sex from an undercover police officer, according to charging documents.
Blatche was scheduled to appear in District of Columbia Superior Court on Thursday, court spokeswoman Marie Robertson said. He was also wanted for failure to appear on a charge of driving without a license, stemming from an arrest in October 2006, according to court documents.
"We are aware of this matter involving Andray," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement issued by the team. "We are in the process of gathering all the information and will continue to monitor this situation. We will have no further comment."
