Phoenix Suns forward Danny Granger exercised on Wednesday a one-year, $2.1 million player option in his contract for next season.
The 10-year NBA veteran and former All-Star came to the Suns in February in a trade with the Miami Heat that involved guard Goran Dragic but didn’t play in a game for Phoenix last season.
The oft-injured Granger had until June 29 to make a decision on his contract. He has played in just 76 games the past three seasons because of a variety of ailments.
The 32-year-old Granger has career averages of 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 586 games with the Indiana Pacers, Los Angeles Clippers and the Heat. In 30 games with the Heat last season, he averaged 6.3 points and shot 40 percent from the field.
