Nic Batum will return to the Los Angeles Clippers and has agreed to a two-year deal with the franchise, worth $22M.

The French forward declined his player option, worth $3.3M, to become a free agent and negotiate a new deal with the Clippers.

Nic Batum started 54 games last season, averaging 8.3 points and 4.3 rebounds, in his second season in Los Angeles. The veteran forward has been a great fit to the team with his versatile playing style on both ends and his excellent character.

The deal between the two sides is for two years, worth a total of $22M, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. The Clippers aim to return to title contention next season.
