The New Orleans Hornets are expected to sign center Henry Sims of the D-League's Erie Bayhawks to a 10-day contract, John Reid of the Times Picayune reports.
Following the announcement that Jason Smith would miss the remainder of the season with a torn labrum, it was reported that the Hornets were looking to add another big man.
Sims has averaged 17.1 PPG and 9.0 RPG with the Bayhawks this season and has never played in an NBA game.
