The Dallas Mavericks have been searching for a backup center in free agency, and ESPN's Tim MacMahon is reporting that the team has agreed on a deal to sign Boban Marjanovic.

Free-agent center Boban Marjanovic has agreed to a two-year, $7 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks, league sources told ESPN on Wednesday, confirming multiple reports.

Marjanovic joined the Sixers in February as part of the deal that sent Tobias Harris to Philadelphia, and made a huge impact despite averaging just 13.9 minutes per game. In his limited time on the court, Marjanovic averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, also shooting a career-high 62.5% from the field.

The 7-foot-3 big is expected to see limited action but will give the Mavericks an interesting option from the bench.
