The Sacramento Kings signed veteran forward Maurice Taylor on Tuesday.
Taylor, who spent the past 1{ years with the New York Knicks, averaging 6.3 points and 3.4 rebounds last season. He has also played for the Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets in a nine-year NBA career.
Kings coach Eric Musselman expects to use Taylor as a backup centre behind Brad Miller.
``We look forward to having him provide us with some additional depth, flexibility and veteran experience on our front line,'' said Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations. ``We think he'll fit in really well.''
