Manu Ginobili set to return for Spurs

Veteran guard Manu Ginobili will play on for a 16th NBA season with the San Antonio Spurs.

Veteran guard Manu Ginobili has joined Australian star Patty Mills in re-signing with the San Antonio Spurs.

The Argentinian posted a message on his Twitter account on Wednesday that he is re-signing with San Antonio for another season, which will be his 16th with the Spurs.

Ginobili averaged 7.5 points and 18.7 minutes per game last season. In 15 seasons with the Spurs, he ranks in the top five in franchise history in points (13,467), games (992), assists (3,835) and steals (1,349).

The 6-foot-6 guard will turn 40 on July 28 and has been a part of four of the Spurs' five NBA championships.

A member of the famed three-player core with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, Ginobili may be the most beloved member of the group. His heart-on-his-sleeve approach stands out in a quiet Spurs culture and his flair for the dramatic has been an integral part of the Spurs' success.
