PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Portland Trail Blazers signed veteran guard/forward Brandon Rush to a 10-day contract Wednesday.

Last season Rush played for the Minnesota Timberwolves, appearing in 47 games and averaging 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 21.9 minutes. The nine-year veteran has also played for Indiana, Golden State and Utah. He was on the Warriors’ team that won the 2015 NBA title.

Rush was selected with the 13th pick in the 2008 draft out of Kansas by Portland, but traded the same day to the Pacers.
