Rush, 28, is a career nine-point per night guy suited best playing off the bench, though he did start 64 games for the Pacers in 2009-10.
He is a good defender and has shot over 41 percent from behind the arc in his career.
Last summer he was traded -- along with Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins -- to the Jazz in a salary dump move that cleared the path for the Warriors to sign Andre Iguodala.
Rush last played on Nov. 2, 2012, when he tore his ACL in the first quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies.
