Nicolas Batum will sign a two-year, $11.5 million contract this week to return to the Los Angeles Clippers, ESPN reported on Monday.

Batum, entering his 18th NBA season, opted out of a $4.9 million deal for 2025-26 prior to the draft. He spent most of the past five seasons with the Clippers — but played 57 games with the 76ers in 2023-24 — and shot 43.3 percent from 3-point range in 78 games last season.

Batum started eight games but was largely a reserve and averaged 4.0 points and 17.5 minutes per game.

In 1,131 career games, he’s a 36.9 percent 3-point shooter and has career averages of 10 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game.

A first-round pick of the Houston Rockets in 2008, Batum turns 37 in December.
