MADRID (AP) \u2014 Real Madrid said Thursday it has agreed to sign veteran NBA center Alex Len<\/a> to a contract until June 2027.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old Ukrainian played last season for the Sacramento Kings<\/a> and Los Angeles Lakers<\/a> in his 12th NBA campaign.<\/p>\n

The 7-foot Len was traded from Sacramento to Washington this past February as part of the multi-team deal that sent Marcus Smart<\/a> to the Wizards. Washington subsequently waived Len, who played for the Wizards during the 2020-21 season before joining the Kings as a free agent.<\/p>\n

Len was selected at No. 5 overall in the 2013 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns<\/a>. The Maryland alum has also played for the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> and Toronto Raptors<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He played part of this year\u2019s preseason with the New York Knicks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Madrid is the former team of Luka Doncic<\/a> and is one of Europe\u2019s most successful clubs.<\/p>\n
