Oklahoma City Thunder to sign center Nazr Mohammed
Center Nazr Mohammed will sign with the Oklahoma City Thunder for the rest of the season on Saturday, sources told ESPN.
The veteran of eight teams in his 18th NBA season played in Oklahoma City once before, when the Thunder lost to the Miami Heat in the 2011-12 NBA Finals. He spent the previous three seasons with the Chicago Bulls in a limited backup capacity but has not played this season.
With Mohammed's familiarity with the team and a respected voice in the locker room, the Thunder are at least adding something to the roster instead of nothing.
In 23 games with Chicago last season, Mohammed averaged 1.2 points and 1.7 rebounds in 5.6 minutes per game.
