As expected, forward Antawn Jamison signed a one-year contract with the Clippers on Wednesday for the veteran’s minimum of about $1.4 million.

The 15-year veteran, who spent last season with the Lakers, has career averages of 18.8 points, 7.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists. He will probably come off the bench and back up forwards Blake Griffin and Jared Dudley.

Jamison underwent surgery in late April to repair an injured wrist after averaging career lows in points (9.4), rebounds (4.8), assists (0.7) and minutes (21.5) last season.

He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
