The Los Angeles Lakers have signed center Damian Jones to a 10-day contract, Vice President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Rob Pelinka announced today.
Per the OC Register, “he’s expected shore up the big man depth that has been frustratingly thin since Anthony Davis has been out with injury.”
Jones has played in 118 career games (49 starts) for Golden State, Atlanta and Phoenix, with averages of 4.3 points (.657 FG%) and 2.8 rebounds in 13.3 minutes. Last season with Atlanta, Jones notched 5.6 points (.680 FG%) and 3.7 rebounds. In 14 games for Phoenix this year, he tallied 1.6 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
More from the OC Register: “Without Davis, the Lakers are in need of shot-blocking, which might be an area where Jones can help.”
