Report: Agent Says Mason, Spurs Reach Deal

SAN ANTONIO, July 10 (AP) - The San Antonio Spurs and unrestricted free agent Roger Mason have agreed to terms on a two-year deal worth more than $7 million, Mason's agent said Thursday.

"We've got a deal done,'' Mark Bartelstein told The Associated Press by phone.

Mason, a 6-foot-5 guard, averaged a career-high 9.1 points and 1.7 assists in 80 games last season with the Washington Wizards. He played in a reserve role for all but nine games. In his previous season with the Wizards, Mason averaged 2.7 points.

Bartelstein said the deal would pay Mason "just a little less than'' $8 million. He said he expected Mason, 27, to sign with the team on Friday.

Spurs spokesman Cliff Puchalski said the team had no comment.

Mason averaged 8 points and 1 assist in the playoffs.
