Clippers agree with Jordan Farmar on two-year deal

Jordan Farmar will remain in his hometown after the free-agent point guard agreed in principle to a two-year, $4.2-million deal on Sunday to play for the Clippers.

The Clippers were able to get a quality point guard in Farmar after losing Chris Paul's backup, Darren Collison, who agreed to a three-year, $16-million deal with Sacramento on Thursday.

Farmar agreed to take the Clippers' biannual exception that starts at $2.077 million, with a player option for the second season.
