The Indiana Pacers confirmed Tuesday that the team signed free agent guard Monta Ellis to a contract.
The team did not release terms of the contract, but reports earlier in the month after he agreed to join the Pacers pegged the deal at four years and $44 million.
The 29-year-old Ellis led the Dallas Mavericks in scoring last season at 18.9 points per game.
“He’ll be a great addition to our team,” Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird said. “And he fits our needs for how we want to play. We’re excited to have him. He adds another veteran in our lineup and we think he’ll be a great fit, complementing George Hill in the backcourt.”
The 10-year NBA veteran has career averages of 19.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.7 steals in 678 regular-season games with the Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks and Mavericks.
“We’re thrilled to have Monta Ellis with the Pacers,” coach Frank Vogel said. “He’s proven to be one of the league’s most prolific scorers year in and year out and his game fits perfectly with the style we’re going to implement going forward.”
