The Minnesota Timberwolves officially signed veteran guard Andre Miller to a contract Monday.
Terms were not disclosed, but the deal reportedly is for one year at the veteran minimum.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Miller averaged 4.4 points and 3.5 assists in 15.5 minutes over 81 games between Washington and Sacramento last season. He began the season in Washington, appearing in 51 games before being acquired by Sacramento on Feb. 19.
Over his 16-year career, the 39-year-old Miller has played for seven organizations — Cleveland, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver, Philadelphia, Portland, Washington and Sacramento — and averaged 12.8 points and 6.7 assists over 1,265 games. Between 1999-2000 and 2012-13, he played in all but six games over a span of 14 seasons, including playing every single game in 10 different seasons.
With the Cavaliers in 2001-02, Miller led the NBA in both assists (882) and assists per game (10.9), both franchise records.
Originally selected with the eighth overall pick by the Cleveland in the 1998 draft, Miller ranks first among active players and ninth in NBA history in assists (8,437). He also is tied for fifth among active players in games played (1,265) and ninth in minutes played (39,807). Miller is one of just eight players in NBA history to tally at least 16,000 points and 8,000 assists in a career.
