The Atlanta Hawks have signed veteran center Jason Collins, according to Executive Vice President/General Manager Rick Sund.

Per team policy, terms were not announced.

"Jason provides us with additional size and a good interior defensive presence," Sund said. "He has extensive experience, having started in two NBA Finals with the Nets, and is another player with strong character and leadership qualities."
