LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Nate Robinson to a 10-day contract.
Robinson joined the team Saturday and will be available to play Sunday against the Golden State Warriors.
The Clippers had been interested in Robinson after he became available in January but the need to add the 30-year-old guard grew after Jamal Crawford was sidelined with a right calf contusion earlier this week. The Clippers are not sure when Crawford will be able to return.
The Boston Celtics reached a buyout with Robinson on Jan. 14 after he was traded to the team from the Denver Nuggets. Robinson was only averaging 5.8 points per game and averaging just 14.1 minutes with the Nuggets.
Robinson played for Doc Rivers in Boston for parts of the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons and also formed a memorable 1-2 punch off the bench with current Clippers forward Glen Davis during the Celtics' run to the 2010 NBA Finals.
Robinson posted a photo of himself in a Clippers No. 8 jersey shortly after signing his deal on Saturday.
