Festus Ezeli has agreed to a two-year, $15.2 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, multiple outlets reported Thursday night.
The Nigerian center will earn $7.4 million in the 2016-17 season and would make $7.33 million in the second year if his team option is picked up, according to ESPN website The Undefeated.
Ezeli spent the first three seasons of his career with the Golden State Warriors, winning a championship in 2015 before losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a seven-game series in this year’s NBA Finals.
The 26-year-old has career averages of 4.2 points and 4.3 rebounds, but posted personal bests in both categories this past season with 7.0 points and 5.3 boards while also averaging 1.1 blocks.
Ezeli’s rights were relinquished by the Warriors after the team signed former Oklahoma City Thunder forward and NBA MVP Kevin Durant, making him an unrestricted free agent.
Golden State had extended a qualifying offer to Ezeli on June 30.
