Heat Sign Point Guard Shaun Livingston

Livingston hasn't played since February of 2007

MIAMI (CBS4) ― The last time Shaun Livingston was seen playing in an NBA game, he wound up having to be carried off the court after a horrific injury. But, he's finally getting a second chance after he signed on with the Miami Heat on Friday.

Livingston, a former number four overall pick, was injured on February 26, 2007 where he tore three knee ligaments and dislocated his kneecap.

Livingston averaged 7.4 points and 4.8 assists in parts of three seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Portland Trailblazers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Los Angeles Clippers all showed interest in the 6 foot 7 guard.

The Heat cut point guard Tre Kelley to make room on the roster for Livingston.
