The Clippers agreed to terms with veteran free-agent forward Walter McCarty on Thursday.

He is scheduled to sign a contract Friday, pending the results of a physical, the team said. Terms of the contract were not announced.

McCarty has averaged 5.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 557 games over nine seasons with New York, Boston and Phoenix.

The 6-foot-10 McCarty was traded in February from Boston to Phoenix, where he averaged 3.5 points in 28 games while helping the Suns to the best record in the Western Conference.

McCarty helped lead Kentucky to the 1996 NCAA title, then was drafted 19th overall by New York.
