LOS ANGELES _ The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to a deal with free-agent point guard Raymond Felton for the veteran's minimum Thursday, said an NBA official who was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
The one-year deal will be for $1.5 million.
Felton, who spent the last two seasons with Dallas, averaged 9.5 points and 3.6 assists last season with the Dallas Mavericks. He shot 40.6 percent from the field, 28.2 percent from three-point range.
Over his 11-year career, Felton has averaged 12.4 point and 6.0 assists. He's a career 41.2 percent shooter, 32.7 percent on three-pointers.
Felton gives the Clippers a solid backup at point guard behind Chris Paul.
