PORTLAND, Ore. — Carmelo Anthony is now with the Portland Trail Blazers and starting over with jersey No. 00.

Word that the 10-time All-Star had joined the team broke Thursday night, but the agreement was not formalized until Tuesday when he signed a nonguaranteed contract that goes through January. If he stays, the contract becomes guaranteed for the rest of the season.

It was not immediately clear when he would start practicing or playing with the team. Portland was at New Orleans on Tuesday night.

Anthony hasn’t played since a 10-game stint with the Houston Rockets ended a little more than a year ago.

“Carmelo is an established star in this league that will provide a respected presence in our locker room and a skill set at a position of need on the floor,” Neil Olshey, Portland’s president of basketball operations, said in a statement.
