The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to sign free-agent center Elton Brand.
Brand, 34, averaged a career-low 7.2 points per 21 minutes, along with 6.0 rebounds and 1.2 blocks, last season with the Dallas Mavericks.
"Elton [Brand] brings a veteran presence both on and off the court and is a welcomed addition to our locker room," Hawks president Danny Ferry said in a statement.
Terms of the deal were not released, though multiple media outlets say it's for one year.
Ferry said in his statement that the 6-foot-8 Brand "will give our frontcourt a great deal of versatility and we think he will be an outstanding fit to our program."
The No. 1 overall pick by Chicago in the 1999 NBA Draft, Brand has played with the Bulls, Los Angeles Clippers, Philadelphia 76ers and Mavericks.
