Free agent forward Nic Batum has agreed on a two-year, $9.6 million deal to join the Los Angeles Clippers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Batum considered retirement but decided to return for his 17th NBA season after a successful year with the 76ers.

Batum, 35, is a good passer and ballhandler for his size and spaces the court with excellent 3-point shooting - particularly from the corners. While he's not the athlete he was in his youth, Batum's length at 6-foot-8 keeps him a positive on the defensive end.
