MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -The Minnesota Timberwolves have announced the signing of free-agent center Darko Milicic (MIL-ih-chitsch).
The former second overall pick was planning on returning to play in Europe before a February trade to Minnesota energized his career.
In 24 games with the Timberwolves, Milicic averaged 8.3 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. The Timberwolves liked the 7-footer’s presence on the defensive end and his versatility on offense. They agreed to terms on a four-year deal worth $16 million in guaranteed money earlier this month but could not officially sign the contract until July 8.
The Timberwolves are Milicic’s fifth team in seven years.
