The Orlando Magic will sign free-agent big man Marreese Speights, USA Today's Jeff Zillgitt reports.

Speights will sign a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum, according to Zillgitt.

A nine-year veteran, Speights spent last season with the Los Angeles Clippers and played in all 82 games, averaging 8.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in 15.7 minutes per game. He opted out of his contract with the Clippers in May, becoming an unrestricted free agent.

Speights, who will turn 30 in August, has played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden State Warriors in addition to the Clippers during his NBA career.
