The Warriors signed free agent center Keith Benson to a 10-day contract, the team announced in a press release Saturday. Terms of the deal were not made public.

Benson, 23, had appeared in all 20 games for the D-League Sioux Falls Skyforce before getting the call. He was averaging 15.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 30.6 minutes per game, and is coming off a 17-point, 11-rebound effort Fiday vs. Bakersfield.

Benson will be in uniform wearing No. 34 for the Warriors against the Kings Saturday.

Thesix-foot-11 center was a second round draft pick by the Hawks after averaging 3.6 blocks per game for Oakland University in Michigan (second in NCAA).

Big man Chris Wright was assigned to the D-League's Dakota Wizards.
