San Antonio Spurs secured the services of Australian point guard Patty Mills in July and now they've locked up veteran Manu Ginobili for a 16th NBA season.
The Spurs re-signed the 40-year-old Argentine guard on Thursday. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
Ginobili will become the eighth player in NBA history to spend his entire career with one team and play at least 16 seasons, joining Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, John Stockton, Reggie Miller and John Havlicek.
Ginobili averaged 7.5 points, 2.7 assists and 2.3 rebounds in 69 games last season.
In 992 career regular-season games, he has averaged 13.6 points, 3.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds.
The four-time NBA champion has averaged 14.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists, through his 213 playoff games.
The 2017/18 NBA season begins in October.
