Revamped Clippers bring back familiar face, re-sign Davis

LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers re-signed unrestricted free-agent center Paul Davis on Monday, giving Los Angeles three players named Davis on their 15-man roster.

He joins Baron Davis and Ricky Davis, another pair of free-agent additions.

Paul Davis averaged 2.5. points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 22 games with the Clippers before sustaining a season-ending injury to his right knee last Dec. 21.

The Clippers picked the 24-year-old former Michigan State star with the 34th overall selection in the 2006 draft, and he played a total of 53 games with them during the last two seasons. The Clippers renounced their rights to Davis on July 16, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Los Angeles has revamped its roster during the summer, adding 10 players including Baron Davis, Ricky Davis, Marcus Camby and first-round draft choice Eric Gordon.
