The Phoenix Suns re-signed forward P.J. Tucker to a multiyear contract, the team announced.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but Yahoo! Sports’ Marc Spears reported earlier this month that the deal is for three years, worth $16.5 million.
Tucker started 81 games last season, averaging career highs of 9.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 30.7 minutes.
Tucker played professionally overseas after his rookie season of 2006-07 with the Toronto Raptors before signing with the Suns in 2012.
