The Los Angeles Clippers have reached agreement with Serbian guard Milos Teodosic on to a two-year, $12.3 million deal, ESPN.com reported Thursday.
The flamboyant 30-year-old Teodosic is considered a creative playmaker.
He had to pay an expensive contract buyout with CSKA Russia to move to the NBA this season. It suggests the Clippers have big plans for the 6-foot-5 Teodosic, who will try to fill the void left by the departure of Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets.
Teodosic was named to the all-EuroLeague first-team three times and was the EuroLeague MVP in 2010.
Teodosic averaged 16.3 points and 6.5 assists while shooting 54.2 percent from the field and 38.6 percent on 3-pointers while playing for Moscow last season.
Teodosic gained exposure when he faced Team USA at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the finals of the 2014 FIBA World Cup.
"As good a player, as good a guard, as there is in Europe," Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said of Teodosic, according to ESPN.
