Veteran big man Brook Lopez has agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to multiple reports on Monday.
Lopez, 37, is a veteran of 17 seasons with the last seven coming for the Milwaukee Bucks. He was a member of the Bucks’ team that won the 2021 NBA Finals.
Lopez averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in 80 games last season.
Lopez spent his first nine seasons with the Nets and was an All-Star for Brooklyn in the 2012-13 season. He spent the 2017-18 season with the Los Angeles Lakers before joining the Bucks as a free agent.
Lopez has career averages of 15.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocked shots in 1,105 games (1,065 starts). He also has made 1,075 3-pointers.
The Bucks could be a franchise about to retool as star Giannis Antetokounmpo hasn’t yet indicated whether he wants to remain with the franchise. In addition, Damian Lillard will miss most of the season and possibly all of it after sustaining a torn Achilles tendon injury during the playoffs.
