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.

Reports: Nets Trade Bogdanovic, McCullough To Wizards
via CBS New York.
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Nets are reportedly sending forwards Bojan Bogdanovic and Chris McCullough to the Washington Wizards in a trade.
Brooklyn will receive a 2017 first-round draft pick, forward Andrew Nicholson and guard Marcus Thornton, according to multiple reports Wednesday.
The trade now gives the rebuilding Nets two picks in the first round, although an earlier swap with the Celtics means that despite owning the NBA’s worst recoed (9-47) both of those selections will likely be in the 20s.
Bogdanovic joined the Nets as a rookie in 2014-15. This season, the 27-year-old Croatian is averaging 14.2 points and 3.6 rebounds. He has started 54 games.
The Nets drafted McCullough in the first round in 2015 out of Syracuse. He has played in 14 games this season, averaging 2.5 points and 1.2 rebounds. The Nets announced earlier Wednesday that McCullough had been assigned to their D-League affiliate.
Nicholson was a first-round pick by the Magic in 2012 who signed a four-year, $26 million contract with Washington last summer. The 6-foot-9 reserve power forward has played in 27 games, averaging 2.5 points and 1.2 rebounds.
This is the second time in three years that Brooklyn has traded for Thornton. He was acquired in a February 2014 deal with the Kings. The 29-year-old journeyman shooting guard has played in 33 games this season, starting one. He is averaging 6.6 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
The NBA trade deadline is 3 p.m. Thursday.
