Gay, who'll turn 33 next month, is one of two players in the NBA — with LeBron James — who has at least 15,000 points, 5,000 rebounds, 1,000 steals and 500 blocks since he was drafted in 2006. The 13-year veteran appeared in 69 games last season for the Spurs and averaged 13.7 points with a career-high 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 26.7 minutes while shooting a career-best .504 (376-for-746) from the floor and a career-best .402 (74-184) from 3-point range.

The new contract marks the third time the unrestricted free agent has signed with the Spurs after originally joining San Antonio on July 2017 and re-signing last year on a reported one-year, USD 10 million deal.
