Clippers, center Byron Mullens agree on a two-year contract
The Clippers and free-agent center Byron Mullens reached agreement on a two-year contract Saturday, according to NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Mullens’ deal is worth about $1 million per season. He can opt out of the contract after one season.
Mullens is expected to sign his contract with the Clippers on Monday or Tuesday.
The 7-foot Mullens averaged 10.6 points and 6.4 rebounds per game last season with Charlotte. He shot 38.5% from the field, 31.7% from three-point range.
Adding Mullens gives the Clippers three centers; DeAndre Jordan and Ryan Hollins are the other two.
That means the Clippers probably won’t be interested in signing free-agent center Marcus Camby, the NBA executives said.
The Clippers now have a 13-man roster.
