The Denver Nuggets have signed veteran guard Austin Rivers to a 10-day contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Rivers, 28, began the season on the New York Knicks but was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a three-team deal that also involved Philadelphia at the trade deadline. The Thunder waived him, as Rivers was not a part of the Thunder's future plans.
He brings size and shooting to Denver's backcourt, along with plenty of playoff experience -- 45 games with the Clippers and Rockets.
