The Sacramento Kings signed top draft pick Pervis Ellison and veteran forward Wayman Tisdale in deals that reportedly will bring the players about $11 million each over the next five years.

Ellison, a forward-center, was the first player selected overall in the 1989 NBA college draft and the last signed. He is recovering from surgery on Sept. 27 to remove bone spurs on his right foot and ankle, and it was not clear when he would play.

Tisdale came to the Kings in February for LaSalle Thompson and Randy Wittman. In 31 games for the Kings, he averaged 19.8 points and a team-best 9.6 rebounds.
