Jason Collins has reached agreement on a 10-day contract with the Brooklyn
Nets, clearing the way for the first openly gay athlete in major
professional sports history, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Jason Collins与布鲁克林篮网队达成协议，签下10天短约。
他是职业运动史上第一个公开出柜的运动员。
Collins will be signed and available to play on Sunday when the Nets meet the
Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center, sources told Yahoo.
Collins已被签下，
而且可以在星期天晚上于Staples Center进行的篮网v.s.湖人的比赛中出赛。
After Glen "Big Baby" Davis decided to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers on
Sunday, the Nets moved onto Plan B – bringing Collins back into the NBA,
sources said.
当"大宝贝" Glen Davis在星期天决定与洛杉矶快艇签约之后，
篮网立刻执行B计画，让Collins重回NBA球场。
After agreeing to a buyout with the Orlando Magic, Davis is expected to clear
waivers at 5 p.m. on Sunday and will sign a deal for the rest of the season
with his former Celtics coach, Doc Rivers, and the Los Angeles Clippers.
Davis与奥兰多魔术队达成买断协议后，预期可以在星期日下午五点被释出。
并且会与快艇队签约，在这个球季剩余的时间与他在赛尔提克时的教练Doc Rivers合作。
Collins revealed his sexuality in the spring, and had gone throughout the NBA
preseason and regular season without a job offer. Once the Nets missed out on
free agent Davis on Sunday, they moved to complete the process of signing
Collins as a backup big man.
Collins在今年春天公开自己的性向，但整个NBA季前及正规赛都没有找到工作。
由于篮网队在星期天无法得到自由球员Davis，因此他们便开始进行与Collins的签约，
为了补进一个替补长人。
Collins, 35, has been out of the NBA since completing the 2012-'13 season
with the Washington Wizards.
35岁的Collins自从2012-13球季在华盛顿巫师打球之后就一直没有留在NBA。

ex-teammate, Jason Kidd, now the Nets coach, has been advocate of signing
him. Collins played with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce with the Boston
Celtics.
Collins在2001-08年曾待在篮网队，而他的前队友，
现在是篮网队的教练──Jason Kidd，力倡要签下他。
Collins也曾经在赛尔提克队与Kevin Garnett及Paul Pierce一起打球。
