MIAMI -- Forward Stromile Swift signed a free-agentcontract with Phoenix Suns on Wednesday for the remainder of theseason, giving the Suns another big man to replace the injured Amare Stoudemire.
Swift will be in uniform Wednesday night when the Suns visit the MiamiHeat, the team said.
Swift was waived earlier this week by the New Jersey Nets. Thenine-year veteran averaged only 3.8 points in six games with the Nets this season, but the former LSU standout could be vital to Phoenix, which may be withoutStoudemire (eye surgery) for the remainder of the season.
"We are very pleased to be able to add a player of Stromile's caliber at this late date," Suns president and general manager Steve Kerr said. "We believe that his athleticism, lengthand experience will be valuable to us as we head down the stretch run."
Swift has averages of 8.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 534 career games with the Vancouver and Memphis Grizzlies, Houston Rockets and the Nets.
Haven't really seen this dude play. Strengths? Weaknesses?
