Winnipeg Sea Bears sign 7-foot former NBA player - Winnipeg

The Winnipeg Sea Bears made a huge addition on Thursday. The club signed a former NBA big man in seven-foot centre Byron Mullens just days before the start of training camp. Mullens played five seasons in the NBA and appeared in nearly 200 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Bobcats, Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers. The now-35-year-old averaged around seven points and four rebounds per game after being selected 24th overall in the 2009 NBA Draft.
