Austin Rivers signs a 10-day contract with the Denver Nuggets

Veteran guard Austin Rivers has signed a 10-day contract with the Denver Nuggets, the team announced Tuesday.

Rivers was canceled from Oklahoma City last month after the Thunder acquired the former first-round pick from the New York Knicks as part of a three-team exchange.

Rivers, 28, has averaged 7.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21 games (two starts) with the Knicks this season.
