Charlotte (AFP) - Jeremy Lin has agreed to a contract with the Charlotte Hornets, the free agent point guard announced on his Facebook page Wednesday night.

Lin spent last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, averaging 11.2 points and 4.6 assists per game.

"Going into my first true free agency as an NBA player this offseason, the one thing that mattered to me the most was finding a team that would be a good fit for me," Lin wrote on Facebook.
