08.2.2004

Orlando, FL (Basketball News) - The Orlando Magic signed unrestricted free agent swingman Stacey Augmon to a contract on Monday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The 36-year-old Augmon had spent the last two seasons with the New Orleans Hornets. He averaged 5.8 points and 2.5 rebounds in 69 games for the Hornets in 2003-04.

"Stacey (Augmon) was a player we expressed interest in right at the start of the free agent process," Orlando general manager John Weisbrod said. "He had many options and we are excited he decided to join our team. He is a mature leader and as good of a defender that was available."

A 13-year veteran, Augmon has also spent time with the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers. Originally selected out of UNLV by Atlanta in the first round (ninth pick overall) of the 1991 NBA Draft, Augmon has averaged 8.5 points and 3.4 boards in 910 regular season contests. He has also appeared in 77 playoff games during his career.
