The Phoenix Suns announced today the signing of free-agent forward Tim Thomas, who was waived by the Chicago Bulls on March 1.  

?It?s unusual to be able to add a talent like Tim Thomas this late in the season,? Suns Head Coach Mike D?Antoni said. ?We are looking forward to working with Tim. His length and athleticism will be a nice fit for our team.?

Thomas, who is currently in his ninth NBA season, owns career averages of 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 577 games (316 starts) with four teams (Philadelphia, Milwaukee, New York, Chicago).
