Nets sign Iman Shumpert

The Brooklyn Nets signed free-agent guard Iman Shumpert on Wednesday.

Brooklyn holds a 16th roster spot until forward Wilson Chandler's suspension ends in mid-December, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

If Shumpert is still on the roster through Dec. 14 or later, the Nets will need to waive or trade a player, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Shumpert split the previous season between the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets, averaging 7.5 points and three boards across 62 appearances.

Brooklyn was in need of wing depth and starter Caris LeVert is reportedly expected to miss several weeks after potentially suffering ligament damage in his right thumb.

The Nets are 4-6 after dropping their last two contests.
