RENO, Nev.-The Reno Bighorns have signed former University of Arkansas point guard Courtney Fortson from the available player pool.

Fortson, a rookie from the University of Arkansas, averaged a team-high 17.9 points per game and was second in the SEC in assists, averaging 5.7 per game last season for the Razorbacks. He went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft after leaving school after his sophomore season.
