Sources: Seth Curry, Blazers agree to 2-year, $2.75M deal

Free-agent guard Seth Curry has agreed to a two-year, $5.6 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, league sources told ESPN.

The deal includes a player option on the second year, sources said.

Curry will join a backcourt rotation with the Blazers that includes All-NBA guard Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum.

Curry, 27, had his finest NBA season in 2016-17 with the Dallas Mavericks, only to miss all of last season with a fractured left tibia, which required surgery in February.

He was medically cleared to return to full basketball-related activities five weeks ago. Curry averaged 12.8 points in 29 minutes a game and shot 42.5 percent from 3-point range for the Mavs in 2016-17.

The son of former NBA player Dell Curry, Seth Curry has had a different career path than older brother Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors star.

The younger Curry worked his way from being an undrafted player out of Duke to become a D-League All-Star and now an NBA player that has made stops in Memphis, Cleveland, Phoenix, Sacramento and Dallas.

Curry is the second long-range shooter the Blazers have added this offseason as the team also agreed to a one-year deal with Nik Stauskas, ESPN's Chris Haynes reported early Sunday morning.
