Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports: Yesterday, the New Jersey Nets brought back team favorite Donny Marshall by signing him to a 10-day contract.

"The first thing you are looking for is someone who can help your team, and helping a team is not always on the basketball court," Nets coach Byron Scott said. "He fits in with our guys. We are as happy with him as he is happy with us."

"There may be some guys in the league that are on the bench and they are not really comfortable with their role," Kenyon Martin said. "Donny is. He is the first one off the bench at every timeout. He is the first one to meet somebody who is not playing well. He's there to pick you up when you need it."

Marshall was with the Nets in training camp but they had to cut him inorder to sign Anthony Johnson, who stepped in for Chris Childs, who was recently cut.
