Pacers, Bogdanovich agree to two-year deal

The Indiana Pacers agreed to terms with swingman Bojan Bogdanovic on Friday, according to multiple reports.

ESPN reported Bogdanovic received a two-year, $21 million contract.

The agreement came shortly after the Washington Wizards renounced Bogdanovic's rights, making him an unrestricted free agent. Bogdanovic averaged a career-best 13.7 points last season while splitting time with the Brooklyn Nets and Washington.

Bogdanovic is averaging 11.3 points over three NBA seasons.

The Pacers also officially announced the signing of point guard Darren Collison. Published reports from earlier this week stated Collison received a two-year, $20 million deal.

Collison averaged 13.2 points and 4.6 assists for the Sacramento Kings last season. He previously played two seasons for the Pacers (2010-12) and averaged 11.9 points and 5.0 assists during that stint.

"Having had Darren here in the past, we obviously knew what we were getting, both on the floor and in the locker room," Pacers president of basketball operations Kevin Pritchard said in a statement. "When you bring in a player like Darren, you know you're not only getting a point guard, you're adding a veteran presence to your team."

Indiana also released forward Rakeem Christmas on Friday. He averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 30 games over two seasons with the Pacers.
