A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the Sacramento Kings have agreed to terms with veteran guard Arron Afflalo on a two-year deal worth $25 million.

The Kings and Afflalo reached agreement on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contract cannot be signed until July 7.

Afflalo averaged 12.8 points and shot 38 percent on 3-pointers for the New York Knicks last season, his ninth in the NBA.

He brings a steady veteran presence and strong leadership to a team that has been embroiled in chaos in recent seasons.

The Kings have been looking for reliable shooters to surround star center DeMarcus Cousins. Afflalo also brings a presence on defense.

Yahoo Sports first reported the agreement.
