The Bucks signed Salim Stoudamire to a contract on Friday.  Stoudamire is inked for the rest of this season and the 2009-'10 season, but the team's intention is not to play him during the remaining five games of the current season.

"He's one of those guys who can come off the bench and get hot right away," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said. "That's a role he's been comfortable in.

"By signing him now, we will have him in our summer program, and he can get to know the coaches and players. It?s an opportunity for him to resurrect his career."
