The LA Clippers added some needed veteran depth at forward by signing Nicolas Batum on Tuesday.
Batum joins the Clippers after the Charlotte Hornets waived the forward and stretched the remaining $27 million on his five-year, $120-million contract on Sunday. Batum, who turns 32 later in December, gives the Clippers depth behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
The Clippers also announced the signings of veteran point guard Reggie Jackson, guard Ky Bowman, forward Malik Fitts, guard Jordan Ford and guard Rayjon Tucker on Tuesday night, as training camps opened throughout the league.
