ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Jason Williams is coming back to the Orlando Magic.

The Magic announced Tuesday that they re-signed the free agent point guard. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Williams spent last season with the Magic after taking a year off for personal reasons. He averaged six points and 3.6 assists per game last season behind starter Jameer Nelson.

Williams also started 18 games while Nelson was injured. The Magic went 14-4 in games Williams started.

The 34-year-old will become Orlando’s third point guard along with Nelson and Chris Duhon. Williams is the 13th player on Orlando’s roster, meeting the minimum required by the NBA.
