Clippers sign swingman Ricky Davis

LOS ANGELES, July 28 (UPI) -- The Los Angeles Clippers signed veteran free agent swingman Ricky Davis Monday to a multiyear contract.

"We believe he will be a good addition," said Clippers Vice President of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor. "His versatility and ability to shoot from the outside will spread the floor and help our low post players."

The 6-foot-7 Iowa product averaged 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game for the Miami Heat last season.

The Clippers will be the sixth club for Davis, who was picked 21st overall by the then-Charlotte Hornets in 1998, and has also played for the Heat (twice), Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Davis has averaged 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game over 10 seasons in the NBA.
