Nets sign Earl Clark to multi-year deal

With his 10-day contract expiring Monday, the Brooklyn Nets have signed power forward Earl Clark to a multi-year contract, general manager Billy King announced.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but Devin Kharpertian of The Brooklyn Game reports that the deal offers a non-guaranteed year for 2015-16, with a partial guarantee if Clark manages to crack the opening day roster.

Clark, who was drafted 14th overall by the Phoenix Suns in 2009, played most of this season with the Shandong Flaming Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association (note to NBA: start adding adjectives to team names). He previously played parts of five NBA seasons with the Suns, Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks.

In five games with the Nets, he's averaged 4.4 points and 3.4 rebounds off the bench.

"I think it's a great situation for me and I'm going to try to capitalize on it and just keep pushing," Clark said.
