(Sports Network) - The Golden State Warriors signed forward Jermareo Davidson to a 10-day contract and placed guard DeMarcus Nelson on waivers, the team announced Monday.

The 24-year-old Davidson is being called up from the NBA D-League, where he averaged 16.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game in 15 contests for the Idaho Stampede. Davidson ranked first in the D-League in double-doubles (10) and third in rebounding (10.8 per game).

The 6-foot-10 forward was originally selected by the Warriors in the second round of the 2007 NBA Draft (36th overall), Davidson had his rights traded to the Charlotte Bobcats on June 28, 2007 in a deal that sent Davidson and Jason Richardson to Charlotte in exchange for the rights to the eighth overall selection, Brandan Wright. After appearing in 38 games during his rookie year, Davidson was waived by the Bobcats this past October.

Nelson appeared in 13 games with Golden State this season, averaging 4.1 points and 1.0 assists per game in 13.1 minutes. The 23-year-old Nelson was signed by the Warriors as a free agent on September 9, 2008.
