Warriors officially sign forward Jerebko

The Golden State Warriors increased their roster's Scandinavian appeal Thursday when they officially announced the signing of forward Jonas Jerebko.

Jerebko was waived last week before his $4.2-million contract for next season with the Utah Jazz became guaranteed. After going unclaimed through the waiver process, the veteran power forward became a free agent.

Now, Jerebko joins a frontcourt rotation featuring holdovers Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Jordan Bell, and Damian Jones, as well as free-agent signing DeMarcus Cousins.

The 31-year-old averaged 5.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game with the Jazz last season.
