MILWAUKEE (AP) The Milwaukee Bucks signed guard Anthony Goldwire to a 10-day contract Saturday as a replacement for injured rookie T.J. Ford.

The 6-foot-2 Goldwire appeared in five games for the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, averaging 2.6 points. Minnesota signed him to consecutive 10-day contracts before he was waived Jan. 26.

Goldwire, a 1994 draft pick of the Phoenix Suns out of Houston, also played in 37 games this season with the Yakima Sun Kings of the CBA, averaging 23.3 points.

He has appeared in 224 NBA games with Charlotte, Denver, San Antonio, Washington and Minnesota, averaging 6.6 points.

Ford was placed on the injured list Feb. 25 with a mild bruise of the spinal cord after a hard fall against Minnesota. He is expected to miss two to three weeks.
