Veteran swingman Omri Casspi has agreed to terms on a new deal that will keep him with the Sacramento Kings, according to league sources.

Sources told ESPN.com that Casspi and the Kings are finalizing a two-year, $6 million deal to keep the first Israeli in NBA history with the franchise that drafted him and reacquired him last summer.

Casspi flourished in the second half of last season under new Kings coach George Karl and joins Rajon Rondo, Marco Belinelli and Kosta Koufos as players to strike free-agent agreements with Sacramento.

The 2014-15 season marked Casspi's second tour of duty with Sacramento, which previously had selected him in the first round of the 2009 draft.

The Indiana Pacers have reached an agreement on a three-year, $21 million deal with free-agent guard Rodney Stuckey, agent Paolo Zamorano told ESPN.com.

The contract will have a player option for the third season.

The Pacers cleared the cap space needed to re-sign Stuckey after they agreed to trade Roy Hibbert to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. That move opened up $15.5 million in space, and the Pacers moved quickly to bring back Stuckey, who had offers from several other teams. Before the trade, the Pacers weren't able to make a competitive offer.

Nice signing for the Raptors but kinda expensive investment for a secondary point guard. Too bad they missed out on a major free agent. Lowry and cos are one superstar away from being a serious contender imo. DeRozan isn't that.

Raptors on that treadmill.
