The L.A. Clippers announced today the signing of 10-time NBA All-Star forward Paul Pierce.

Pierce, 37, joins the Clippers after spending the 2014-15 season with the Washington Wizards, where he averaged 11.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 73 games (all starts).

The 6-foot-7 forward has enjoyed a decorated career as a member of the 2009 All-NBA Second Team and three selections to the All-NBA Third Team (2002, 2003, 2008). Pierce was also named to the 1999 NBA All-Rookie First Team and was the NBA 3-Point Shootout Winner in 2010.

Originally drafted with the 10th overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft out of the University of Kansas, Pierce earned MVP honors in the Big 12 Conference Tournament in both 1997 and 1998 for the Jayhawks.
