INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana Pacers made another offseason move to shore up their frontcourt Friday, signing free agent center Al Jefferson, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The deal is reported to be for three years and $30 million.

Jefferson, 31, is a 12-year pro with the NBA. He was most recently with the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 12 points per game and 6.4 rebounds per game in 2015-16. Jefferson played in 47 games last season, the lowest total of his career.

This offseason, the Pacers have traded for forward Thaddeus Young and drafted forward Georges Niang in the second round.
