Jason Collins has made history, becoming the first openly gay NBA player after signing a 10 day contract with the Brooklyn Nets.
“The decision to sign Jason was a basketball decision,” Nets GM Billy King said in a statement. “We needed to increase our depth inside, and with his experience and size, we felt he was the right choice for a 10-day contract.”
Collins will be available when the Nets face the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday.
