DETROIT - The Detroit Pistons and veteran swingman Tracy McGrady have reportedly agreed to a one-year contract.
According to the Detroit Free Press, McGrady will play for the league minimum of $1.35 million for a veteran with 10 or more years of service.
McGrady appeared in a combined 30 games last season for Houston and New York. He had limited playing time in six games with the Rockets after recovering from microfracture knee surgery and was dealt to the Knicks. In 24 games for New York, he averaged 9.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
The 31-year-old went to the NBA directly out of high school and was selected by Toronto with the ninth overall pick of the 1997 draft. He has also played for Orlando in his 13-year career and owns career averages of 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
McGrady was the NBA scoring champion in 2002-03 and 2003-04 with the Magic and has been selected to seven All-Star Games. He was also a First-Team All-NBA choice twice and a Second-Team selection three times.
