Free agent Kenyon Martin has agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million contract to play with the Los Angeles Clippers, agent Andy Miller told Yahoo! Sports on Friday.
Martin joins a frontcourt rotation that includes All-Star forward Blake Griffin and promising young center DeAndre Jordan. Most NBA contenders had been in pursuit of the rugged forward.
Martin, 34, spent part of the season playing in China and could still have his Clippers debut delayed until the middle of this season as Chinese Basketball Association officials petition FIBA and the NBA to honor his signed agreement. FIBA gave Martin a clearance letter to play immediately in the NBA this week after China officials were slow to respond to a request made over the Chinese New Year.
