Latvian forward Davis Bertans has officially signed with the NBA's San Antonio Spurs, the club informed on Thursday.

According to reports, the 6 ft 10 forward has signed a two-year deal with the Spurs.

The 23-year-old Bertans played for Spanish club Vitoria Laboral Kutxa last season, averaging 8.5 points and 3.1 rebounds in ACB League action last season, and 7.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in the Euroleague.

Bertans has recovered from two ACL tears in his young career, and did not help the Latvian national basketball team at this summer's Olympic qualifiers. He tore his ACL in both 2013 and 2014.

Bertans was the 42nd overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft, but has played in Europe since then.

The Spurs lost in the second round of last season's Western Conference semifinals to the Oklahoma City Thunder 2-4, but is seen as one of the top NBA team, winning the league title in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014.
