Melbourne United has signed former New Jersey Nets big-man, Josh Boone, sources told foxsports.com.au. Boone will join United as a temporary injury replacement, but is expected to be with the team for the remainder of the 2016-17 season, sources said. After David Andersen and Devin Williams both suffered long-term injuries, United immediately began searching for a player to bolster its frontcourt, with the team choosing to go with the 32-year-old Boone.
