Help is on the way for the injury-depleted Suns.

Phoenix will sign D-League standout Orlando Johnson to a 10-day contract, sources told Yahoo's Shams Charania.

The 26-year-old Johnson was the 36th pick in the 2012 NBA Draft by the Sacramento Kings. He was subsequently flipped to the Indiana Pacers for cash on draft night, and went on to make 96 appearances over the next two seasons before latching on with the D-League.

Johnson is averaging 15.2 points while shooting an absurd 48.6 percent from deep as a member of the Austin Spurs. He's also chipped in with 4.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists while playing as a combo guard.
