Indiana Pacers center Daniel Theis has agreed on a contract buyout, clearing the way for him to sign a free agent deal with the LA Clippers once he clears waivers, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.
Theis is expected to clear waivers Friday, and can join a Clippers team that is reeling with six straight losses since the acquisition of James Harden.
Theis will address the Clippers' need for frontcourt size as they await the return of backup center Mason Plumlee from a sprained MCL in his right knee.
Theis had $7.8 million left on his $9.1 million contract with the Pacers, and will sign a prorated veteran minimum of $2.1 million, sources said.
