At least one Clipper free agent will be back next season.

Bobby Simmons is gone, Marko Jaric is in limbo and Kerry Kittles was never in their plans, but backup center Zeljko Rebraca is close to reaching an agreement with the Clippers on a three-year contract, his agent said Thursday.

"His desire was to return," agent Bill Duffy said. "He and his family have enjoyed L.A., and the Clipper experience worked out pretty well for him."

Duffy said the deal could be completed today.
