LOS ANGELES -- The Clippers have re-signed free-agent forward Hedo Turkoglu, who played in 38 games with the team last season.

He averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds after being signed in January.

Coach Doc Rivers said Friday that Turkoglu is a versatile, veteran presence for the team.

The 35-year-old Turkoglu is a 14-year NBA veteran who also has played for Orlando, Phoenix, Toronto, San Antonio and Sacramento. He is the league's first player born in Turkey.
