The Toronto Raptors signed veteran centre Greg Monroe to a contract Tuesday.
The six-foot-11 native of New Orleans, La., averaged 10.3 points and 6.9 rebounds over 51 games last season with Milwaukee, Phoenix and Boston.
“Greg is a proven big man in this league,” said Raptors general manager Bobby Webster. “We believe Greg’s experience will be a great addition to not only our frontcourt, but to our team culture as we continue to build towards our goal of an NBA championship.
