The Charlotte Bobcats have signed veteran guard Larry Hughes to help with depth in the backcourt as they attempt to reach the playoffs for the first time.
General manager Rod Higgins, searching for backcourt help since trading Flip Murray to the Bulls last month in the Tyrus Thomas deal, said this month he wouldn't sign Hughes because of Hughes' broken finger. But the injury has healed, and a team spokesman says Hughes passed his physical.
The 31-year-old Hughes was traded from New York to Sacramento last month and then waived. A former Bull, Hughes also has played for Golden State, Washington and Cleveland.
