Nets Sign Jerry Smith To 10-Day Contract

The Nets have signed point guard Jerry Smith to a 10-day contract, the team announced (Twitter link). ESPN.com's Marc Stein tweeted last night that Smith was expected to join the Nets today.

Smith, 24, averaged 19.1 points and 4.2 assists in 34.5 minutes per game in 32 contests for the D-League's Springfield Armor this season. The Louisville product has yet to make his NBA debut.

Because the Nets traded away two players to acquire Gerald Wallace, the team has an empty roster spot and won't have to make a corresponding move to clear room for Smith.
