The Clippers on Tuesday signed power forward Jeff Ayres for the rest of the season, a league source told this newspaper.

Ayres had two 10-day contracts with the Clippers in February, but was not retained after the second one expired. His signing comes two days after rookie power forward Branden Dawson was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic abuse in Playa Vista, where he lives with his girlfriend.

Ayres, out of Etiwanda High in Rancho Cucamonga, is 28. He played five games for the Clippers in February and averaged 1.2 points and 0.6 rebounds.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers said Sunday that he would be giving power forward Jeff Ayres a second 10-day contract. Rivers, who doubles as president of basketball operations, followed through on that Tuesday by making it official.

Ayres, who prepped at Etiwanda High in Rancho Cucamonga, has played in just three games for a total of 10 minutes since signing with the Clippers on Jan. 23. Ayres, 28, has played in  223 NBA games with Portland, Indiana, San Antonio and the Clippers; he won a championship ring in 2014 with San Antonio.

Ayres has career scoring and rebounding averages of 3.0 and 2.7, respectively.
