Ty Lawson, Kings reach agreement on 1-year deal

NBA, Sacramento Kings

Free agent Ty Lawson has signed with the Sacramento Kings, the team announced on Wednesday.

A source told ESPN's Josina Anderson the deal is for 1 year.

The unrestricted free-agent point guard signed with the Indiana Pacers in March after being bought out by the Houston Rockets. He averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 assists in 13 regular-season games for Indiana after the deal.

Lawson, 28, started his NBA career with the Denver Nuggets, but he was arrested twice for DUI, leading to his exit there.

The 2009 first-round pick out of North Carolina has averaged 13.1 points, 6.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game during his career.

Information from ESPN's Nick Friedell was used in this report.
