The Timberwolves announced on Tuesday that they have signed both Mickael Gelabale and Chris Johnson to second 10-day contracts.

Johnson has averaged 9.2 points on 72% shooting and 3.8 rebounds in five games for the Timberwolves.

Gelabale has averaged 7.8 points on 55.6% shooting and 3.6 rebounds in five games for the Timberwolves.

Both players' first 10-day deals were set to expire on Tuesday.

Per NBA rule, after a player's second 10-day contract expires, the team must decide whether to re-sign him for the rest of the season.

The Indiana have re-signed free agent Sam Young. 

The Pacers originally signed Young on Sept. 12, 2012 and waived him on Jan. 6, 2013. He played 28 games with the Pacers, averaging 3.6 points and 2.9 rebounds.

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed guard Shelvin Mack to a second 10-day contract. He signed his first 10-day contract on Jan. 17.

Mack (6-3, 207) has appeared in two games for the Sixers this season. In nine total games for Washington and Philadelphia, he is averaging 4.3 points, 2.6 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game.

Rick Carlisle confirmed on Sunday night that the Dallas Mavericks will keep Mike James for the remainder of the season.

"He's done a really terrific and solid job for us," Carlisle said.

James, whose second 10-day contract expired after Sunday's win, has averaged 2.9 points and one assist in nine games for the Mavericks while providing a stabilizing presence at point guard behind Darren Collison.

The San Antonio Spurs have signed center Aron Baynes.

Baynes most recently played for Union Olimpija of the Slovenian Basketball League in 2012-13. In 10 games, he averaged 13.8 points and 9.8 rebounds in 26.2 minutes.

Baynes, 6-10/260, began his professional career in 2009-10 playing for Lietuvos Rytas of the Lithuanian Basketball League, a squad that went on to win the Lithuanian National Championship. In 2010-11 he played in Germany for EWE Baskets Oldenburg before joining Ikaros Kallitheas in Greece the following season.

The Memphis Grizzlies have signed Rio Grande Valley Vipers forward Chris Johnson. 

Johnson (6-6, 201, Dayton) has appeared in 21 games for the Vipers this season, averaging 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 29.0 minutes. He scored a season-high 29 points in a 127-104 win over the Los Angeles D-Fenders on Jan. 7 at the 2013 NBA D-League Showcase in Reno, Nev.  He ranks fourth in the League in three-pointers made (54), and is tied for sixth in steals (38). 

The Atlanta Hawks have signed Jannero Pargo to a 10-day contract.

In his ninth NBA season, Pargo played in seven games earlier this year with the Washington Wizards, putting in 3.0 points and 2.0 assists in 14.6 minutes per contest (.250 FG%, 1.000 FT%). In 50 games last season with the Hawks, he averaged 5.6 points, 1.9 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 13.4 minutes (.415 FG%, .384 3FG%, .950 FT%).

The Hawks lost Lou Williams for the remainder of the season last week.

The Miami Heat have re-signed forward Jarvis Varnado to a second 10-day contract. 

Varnado, who was signed to a 10-day contract by the Heat on Jan. 9, appeared in two games with Miami, both victories, totaling two points and two blocks in 12 minutes of action while shooting 1-of-2 from the field.

The Miami Heat have signed forward/center Chris Andersen to a 10-day contract. 

Andersen, a 10-year NBA veteran, has appeared in 482 career games and averaged 5.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.60 blocks and 17.8 minutes while shooting 50.8 percent from the field. Additionally, he has appeared in 31 career postseason games and averaged 5.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.52 blocks and 17.8 minutes while shooting 58.2 percent from the field.

Utilizing an opt-out clause, Mickael Gelabale has signed a 10-day contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, his agent told RealGM.

Gelabale will get a legitimate opportunity to be a contributor in the Timberwolves’ rotation, and barring unforeseen injury or ineffectiveness, he’ll almost assuredly sign a second 10-day deal.

“With his cutting and slashing, he doesn't need the ball in his hands to score,” agent Bill McCandless said. “And he can guard three positions.”

Once the second 10-day contract expires, the Timberwolves will make a decision on whether to sign Gelabale for the rest of the season. Should Minnesota elect to part ways at that point, Gelabale will have 72 hours to sign with another NBA team before having to return to Valencia of the European League.

Gelabale moved to Valencia after his contract expired with Croatian club Cedevita, but he wanted to come back to the NBA ahead of the Jan. 30 expiration of his escape clause. His agency had reached out to all 30 NBA teams in December to gauge the interest in Gelabale and the Timberwolves had long been the frontrunner.

Gelabale was supposed to sign with the Timberwolves on Thursday and then play against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he wasn’t able to receive his letter of clearance in time. He worked out alone, breaking a sweat and putting up shots, at the Timberwolves’ practice facility on Thursday.

The Timberwolves have been decimated by injuries all season long – losing Josh Howard and Malcolm Lee to season-ending surgeries; Kevin Love for two substantial hand ailments and Brandon Roy possibly for the rest of the season. Impressive rookie Alexey Shved rolled his ankle in Thursday's loss as well.

Gelabale, 29, averaged 4.5 points on 45 percent shooting in two seasons with the Seattle SuperSonics after being selected in the second round of the 2005 NBA draft.
