Missing the playoffs and late-season trip to Don Nelson's doghouse were enough to send Baron Davis elsewhere. The guard signed with the Los Angeles Clippers.

SAN FRANCISCO - The Clippers signed free agent Baron Davis to a multiyear contract, bring the two-time All-Star point guard home to Los Angeles.

The 29-year-old Davis averaged 21.8 points, 7.6 assists and 4.7 rebounds for Golden State last season. He helped lead the Warriors to a surprising first-round upset of top-seeded Dallas in the playoffs before they lost to Utah in the second round.

Davis had stints with Golden State and Charlotte during his 10-year NBA career.

Davis was a standout at UCLA for two seasons before leaving school early and joining the Hornets in 1999.
