CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the Charlotte Hornets have agreed to a contract with free agent Jeremy Lin.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Wednesday because the move cannot be announced until Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Lin posted on his Instagram page Wednesday night “Lets goooooo!! #BuzzCity” and attached a photo of the Hornets’ team logo.
Lin is entering his sixth NBA season. He had a brief but memorable stint with the New York Knicks in 2012 and also played for the Warriors, Rockets and Lakers.
The 26-year-old Lin played in 74 games last season for the Lakers, averaging 11.2 points and 4.6 assists. He shot 42.4 percent from the field and 36.9 percent from 3-point range.
He’s expected to back up point guard Kemba Walker in Charlotte.
