LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Los Angeles Clippers have acquired center Marcus Camby from the Denver Nuggets in exchange for a future second-round draft pick.
Camby led the NBA in blocked shots with 3.61 per game last season, only the second player in league history to do so in three straight seasons.
He averaged 9.1 points and 13.1 rebounds playing a career-best 34.9 minutes per game for the Nuggets. Camby was the league's defensive player of the year in 2006-07.
He played the last six seasons in Denver after four years with the New York Knicks.
The Denver Post cited an unnamed source close to the team Tuesday who said trading Camby will save the Nuggets about $20 million.
