The Atlanta Hawks have signed veteran point guard Jason Richardson, according to a report.

The 34-year-old spent two years out of the game after sustaining a serious knee injury in January 2013, but returned to the court with the Philadelphia 76ers last season.

Richardson was allowed to leave the 76ers at the end of the campaign, and has now been snapped up by the Hawks on a one-year deal worth $1.5m (£958,000), reports ESPN.

The guard has averaged 17.1 points per game in his 14-year career.
