Free-agent forward Yaroslav Korolev will report to the Clippers' training camp in Santa Barbara next week, ending speculation that the team's 2005 lottery pick would report with another team or play in Russia this season, a source said Wednesday.

Korolev, the 12th overall pick two years ago, tried out with the Phoenix Suns and other NBA teams in recent weeks but has returned to working out at the Clippers' El Segundo training facility. Korolev is expected to sign a non-guaranteed contract before camp begins.

Korolev has played little in his Clippers tenure, appearing in only 34 games in the last two seasons, and has yet to develop as the team anticipated.

Korolev was offered a new contract after last season, but it was rescinded after the team's plans changed when All-Star forward Elton Brand tore his Achilles' tendon.
