The injury-riddled New Orleans Hornets have signed free agent guard Devin Brown for depth at both the shooting guard and small forward spots, the team announced today.

Brown is a four-year NBA veteran and has played with Denver, San Antonio and Utah.

He was a member of San Antonio's NBA championship team in 2005.

"Devin is a proven NBA player and he'll help strengthen our backcourt with his ability to play both the shooting guard and the small forward positions," said Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower.

"He will be able to come in and fill some of the void left by the injuries to Bobby Jackson, Peja Stojakovic and David West."
