Clipppers Sign Davis from Miami

LOS ANGELES (Ticker) -- The Los Angeles Clippers on Monday signed guard Ricky Davis to a multi-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The 21st overall pick in the 1998 draft out of Iowa, the well-traveled Davis spent last season with the Miami Heat, averaging 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists for the injury-ravaged club, which finished with the worst record in the NBA.

"We believe he will be a good addition," Clippers vice president of basketball operations Elgin Baylor said. "His versatility and ability to shoot from the outside will spread the floor and help our low post players." The 28-year-old Davis has averaged 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 10 seasons with five teams prior to signing with the Clippers, who have been restructuring their roster this offseason.

Los Angeles, which now employs point guard Baron Davis, will have to find some shots for Ricky Davis, who is known as a shoot-first player.
