LOS ANGELES — The Clippers have re-signed free-agent forward Hedo Turkoglu, who played in 38 games with the team last season.

He averaged 3.0 points and 2.3 rebounds after being signed in January.

The 35-year-old Turkoglu is a 14-year NBA veteran who also has played for Orlando, Phoenix, Toronto, San Antonio and Sacramento. He is the league’s first player born in Turkey.
