The Indiana Pacers announced Thursday they have signed free agent forward Solomon Jones to a multi-year contract.
 
Jones is a 6-10, 245-pound forward/center who played his first three seasons in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks. He averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds with the Hawks last season in just under 11 minutes a game.

?He?s a young, athletic player who has improved each year he has been in the league,? said Pacers President of Basketball Larry Bird. ?He definitely can help hold down our interior defense and we believe he can be part of what we?re trying to do here.?
