Nets' Henry Sims: Signs contract for rest of season

Sims signed a contract for the rest of the season with the Nets on Wednesday.

Sims first joined the Nets on a 10-day contract on March 17, but after his second 10-day deal expired, the team elected to keep him in the fold for the remainder of the season. Coach Tony Brown recently ruled out Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young for rest for the team's final handful of games, which has resulted in Sims starting two of the last three contests. He figures to remain with the top unit for the final final games of the campaign, which could allow Sims to see around 30 minutes most nights. Through nine appearances with the Nets, Sims is averaging six points and 4.4 rebounds over 17.1 minutes.
