Free agent forward Rudy Gay and the San Antonio Spurs agreed to a two-year, $17.2 million deal on Thursday, according to an ESPN report.
The second year reportedly is a player option.
Gay posted a picture of a Spurs jersey on his Instragram account.
The 31-year-old Gay, an 11-year NBA veteran, averaged 18.7 points and 6.3 rebounds in 30 games with the Sacramento Kings last season before sustaining a season-ending complete tear of his left Achilles tendon on Jan. 18 against the Indiana Pacers.
Gay opted out of the final year of his contract with the Kings before the June 10 deadline, allowing him to become a free agent.
Gay was the eighth overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Houston Rockets. He played for the Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors before joining the Kings in 2014-15.
In 753 career games (714 starts), Gay has averages of 18.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists.
