Just days after backing out of a deal with the 76ers with the intention of returning to Europe, forward Nemanja Bjelica has instead agreed to a three-year contract with the Kings, he told Yahoo Sports.

The deal is worth $20.5 million, per Yahoo, which reported that the third year is non-guaranteed.

Bjelica had agreed to a one-year deal with the 76ers but never signed it, and then informed the team that he would stay in Europe this season.

But Bjelica changed his mind after talking with Kings general manager Vlade Divac. Both are natives of Serbia.
