ALBA Berlin addressed the injury problems in its backcourt by signing veteran guard Jordan Crawford to a one-month contract. Crawford (1.98 meters, 30 years old) last played for New Orleans of the NBA. He spent parts of six seasons in the NBA with Atlanta, Washington, Boston, Golden State and New Orleans and averaged 12.2 points and 3.1 assists in 281 games. He has also played for Xinjiang and Tianjin in China.
"Because of our many injured players, our healthy players have had to do play more," ALBA sports director Himar Ojeda said. "To relieve this difficult situation, we have signed Jordan Crawford. He is very talented and experienced and we expect him to quickly find his rhythm and help us in the upcoming games. We are working hard on his eligibility and hope he can play against Limoges on Wednesday. "
