ESPN reports that it’s a two-year deal worth $9 million including a player option in year two of the contract.
Crawford, 37, will be the oldest player on the team and the best 3-point threat off the bench as a backup guard. The soon-to-be 18-year veteran averaged 12.3 points and shot 36% from 3-point land with the Clippers last season.
He’s a three-time winner of the Sixth Man of the Year Award.
