at February’s trade deadline, agreed to return to the team Monday on a one-year contract that will pay $5 million, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The Clippers had spent the first half of last season without a true rotation at center, instead relying on starter Ivica Zubac and a combination of forwards used in smaller lineups along with Moses Brown, a 7-footer utilized as a stop-gap measure because he was on a two-way contract.

The 10-year veteran has career average of 8.6 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 59.5% from the field and 56.7% from the free-throw line. He switched to shooting free throws left-handed, converting 72.7% for the Clippers.
