Former Camden High School basketball star Dajuan Wagner has signed a two-year contract with the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
Wagner was the sixth pick in the 2002 draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers after just one collegiate season at Memphis, but health problems prevented him from becoming the star most expected.
After averaging 13.4 points in 47 games as a rookie, Wagner's second season in Cleveland was limited to 44 games and limited playing time after arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. He played just 11 games early in the 2004-05 season
before his years of stomach pain were diagnosed as colitis, an inflammation of the colon.
Wagner's colon was removed in October, and he lost 30 pounds before returning to workouts this year in hopes of a comeback. Several teams expressed interest in Wagner, who will join a backcourt in Golden State with Baron Davis, Jason
Richardson and second-year pro Monta Ellis.
Wagner, the son of former NBA guard Milt Wagner, is the leading scorer in New Jersey high school basketball history, once scoring 100 points in a game.
The Warriors open training camp Oct. 2 in Oakland.
