Jason Collins has reached agreement on a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn
Nets, clearing the way for the first openly gay athlete in major
professional sports history, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Jason Collins與布魯克林籃網隊達成協議，簽下10天短約。
他是職業運動史上第一個公開出櫃的運動員。
Collins will be signed and available to play on Sunday when the Nets meet the
Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center, sources told Yahoo.
Collins已被簽下，
而且可以在星期天晚上於Staples Center進行的籃網v.s.湖人的比賽中出賽。
After Glen "Big Baby" Davis decided to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers on
Sunday, the Nets moved onto Plan B – bringing Collins back into the NBA,
sources said.
當"大寶貝" Glen Davis在星期天決定與洛杉磯快艇簽約之後，
籃網立刻執行B計畫，讓Collins重回NBA球場。
After agreeing to a buyout with the Orlando Magic, Davis is expected to clear
waivers at 5 p.m. on Sunday and will sign a deal for the rest of the season
with his former Celtics coach, Doc Rivers, and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Davis與奧蘭多魔術隊達成買斷協議後，預期可以在星期日下午五點被釋出。
並且會與快艇隊簽約，在這個球季剩餘的時間與他在賽爾提克時的教練Doc Rivers合作。
Collins revealed his sexuality in the spring, and had gone throughout the NBA
preseason and regular season without a job offer. Once the Nets missed out on
free agent Davis on Sunday, they moved to complete the process of signing
Collins as a backup big man.
Collins在今年春天公開自己的性向，但整個NBA季前及正規賽都沒有找到工作。
由於籃網隊在星期天無法得到自由球員Davis，因此他們便開始進行與Collins的簽約，
為了補進一個替補長人。
Collins, 35, has been out of the NBA since completing the 2012-'13 season
with the Washington Wizards.
35歲的Collins自從2012-13球季在華盛頓巫師打球之後就一直沒有留在NBA。
Collins played parts of seven years with the Nets between 2001-08, and his
ex-teammate, Jason Kidd, now the Nets coach, has been advocate of signing
him. Collins played with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce with the Boston
Celtics.
Collins在2001-08年曾待在籃網隊，而他的前隊友，
現在是籃網隊的教練──Jason Kidd，力倡要簽下他。
Collins也曾經在賽爾提克隊與Kevin Garnett及Paul Pierce一起打球。
