| The New Orleans Hornets have signed free-agent point guard Mustafa Shakur. |
| General manager Dell Demps says the 6-foot-4 Shakur has good size for a point guard and got the Hornets' attention by thriving in the NBA Development League last season. |
| Undrafted out of Arizona, the 26-year-old Shakur was been with several NBA teams since 2007 but has yet to play in a regular-season game. Shakur played two seasons in Europe. Last season, he played for the Tulsa 66ers, averaging 19.2 points, 6.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds, 37.8 minutes. |
| Demps says Shakur will provide depth at point guard behind All-Star Chris Paul. Earlier this summer, the Hornets traded point guard Darren Collison to Indiana. |
