The Brooklyn Nets signed free agent power forward Darius Bazley to a one-year deal, ESPN reported on Friday.

Bazley, 23, just completed his fourth season in the NBA. The Oklahoma City Thunder sent him to the Suns at the trade deadline, but he played in just seven games for Phoenix after appearing in 36 for the Thunder before the move.

He averaged 5.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game in 2022-23 after scoring in double digits each of the previous two seasons for Oklahoma City.

In 228 career games (118 starts), the 2019 first-round draft pick has career averages of 9.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per contest.
