Six-time All-Star forward Blake Griffin has agreed to a deal to join the Brooklyn Nets for the rest of the season, his agent Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports told ESPN on Sunday night.
The Nets are using one of their veteran minimum contract slots to sign Griffin, sources said.
Griffin informed Nets general manager Sean Marks of his decision to join Brooklyn's championship chase on Sunday evening, a reunion of sorts with his old Los Angeles Clippers teammate DeAndre Jordan.
Griffin had interest from most of the NBA's top playoff contenders and cleared waivers on Sunday night after agreeing to a buyout on the remaining $56.
