ESPN is reporting that Jason Collins, who came out as openly gay last year, will become a member of the Brooklyn Nets.
He is expected to sign a 10-day contract and be in uniform tonight.
Collins, 35, has averaged 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds in a 12-year NBA career. The 7-foot tall center has built a long career based on his defense and joins a Nets team doing everything possible to make a playoff run.
