WASHINGTON - The offer sheet Jared Jeffries signed with the New York Knicks last week was officially sent Monday to the Washington Wizards, who have a week to decide whether to match it.

"We have received the offer sheet and will have seven days to respond," Wizards president of basketball operations Ernie Grunfeld said.

The Knicks signed the former Indiana star, a restricted free agent, last Friday night to an offer reportedly for about $30 million over five years.

The 6-foot-11, 240-pound Jeffries, selected by Washington with the 11th overall pick in the 2002 draft, has averaged 6.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in four seasons with the Wizards. He averaged 6.4 points and 4.9 rebounds in 77 games last season.
