According to Arash Markazi of ESPN Los Angeles, the Clippers have officially signed veteran forward Hedo Turkoglu for this upcoming season.
"“We are happy to welcome Hedo back to the Clippers,” Clippers president of basketball operations and head coach Doc Rivers said. “Hedo is a versatile, veteran presence who contributed to the championship culture we are building in Los Angeles.”"
Los Angeles added turkoglu last year in the middle of the season and he helped the team into the playoffs but he wasn’t as effective as he used to be. This is understandable though, as Turkoglu is getting up there in years and he’s not the player he once was.
Still, he’s a more than serviceable veteran talent who can come off the bench and give the Clippers depth that they need to make a run at an NBA Finals win this year.
