After finding no room on the roster in Phoenix after two seasons with the Suns, forward/center Sean Marks signed a one-year contract, believed to be for the veterans’ minimum, with the New Orleans Hornets.

He will be in uniform when the Suns open the regular season home schedule against the Hornets on Oct. 30.

“We’re excited for Sean to join our team,” New Orleans GM Jeff Bower said. “He is a veteran leader who has been on winning teams and will be a great addition to our frontcourt.”

In Marks’ last game as a Sun, he put up 16 points and a career-high 13 rebounds in an April 16, season-ending win over Portland. But as in San Antonio, his role in Phoenix was as a practice player and cheerleader. He’s averaged 3.1 points and 1.9 rebounds over his nine-year NBA career with stops in Toronto, Miami, San Antonio and Phoenix.
