New York (AP) -- The Brooklyn Nets have signed veteran forward Josh Childress.

Nets general manager Billy King announced the signing Thursday. While terms were not disclosed, Childress got a one-year, non-guaranteed contract.

The 29-year-old Childress averaged 2.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 34 games with Phoenix last season.

He also spent two seasons in Greece, starting in 2008.

The signing comes a day after the Nets announced they had inked free-agent forward Andray Blatche.
