Minnesota Timberwolves forward Mark Madsen says he has been traded along with Sebastian Telfair and Craig Smith to the Los Angeles Clippers for Quentin Richardson.
Madsen says he spoke to his agent on Monday to confirm the deal, which was first reported by YahooSports.com.
Madsen spent six seasons in Minnesota. His playing time waned as his career progressed, but he remained a valued leader in the locker room.
Smith was a capable scorer off the bench for the Wolves, but the power forward had trouble getting consistent playing time behind Al Jefferson and Kevin Love.
Richardson averaged 10.2 points and 4.4 rebounds last season.
