Currently Mo is with the Washington Wizards.

Mo, who was not selected in the 2001 NBA Draft, signed as a free agent in 2001-02 with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Mo returned to the NBA in 2004 by joining the Sacramento Kings. In 2005 he signed with the Detroit Pistons as a free agent. In 2006 the Pistons traded Mo to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he played back up to Kobe Bryant.

In 2008 Mo signed with the Atlanta Hawks, contributing in major Atlanta Hawks victories both defensively and offensively.

In 2011 the Washington Wizards received Mo in a team trade with the Atlanta Hawks. Mo is a valuable veteran in Washington, as well as a versatile, scoring presence on the court.
