The Charlotte Hornets signed free agent guard Brian Roberts, the team announced Wednesday.
Terms were not disclosed, but Yahoo Sports reported previously the deal was for two years and $5.5 million.
The 6-foot-1 Roberts spent the last two seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 19.9 minutes in 150 total games.
In 72 games last season, including 42 starts, Roberts averaged 9.4 points, 3.3 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 23.2 minutes.
Roberts was not selected in the 2008 draft after a four-year career at the University of Dayton. He spent the 2008-09 season with Galil Gilboa in Israel’s Winner League. He then played for Brose Baskets in Germany’s BBL from 2009-12, before signing with the Pelicans in August 2012.
“Brian is a quality point guard who we believe will play a key role for us,” general manager Rich Cho said in a statement. “We look forward to having him as part of our team.”
