Point guard Kidd re-signs with Mavericks

DALLAS, (Reuters) – Point guard Jason Kidd has  re-signed with the Dallas Mavericks, the NBA team announced yesterday.

Although no terms were dislcosed on the team’s website  (www.nba.com/mavericks) Dallas media are reporting the  three-year deal is worth at least $25 million.

Kidd, 36, who was originally drafted by the Mavericks in  1994, returned to the team in 2008.
He helped Dallas compile a 50-32 regular-season record,  averaging nine points, 6.2 rebounds and 8.7 assists in 81  starts.

Kidd became the fourth NBA player to reach 10,000 career  assists when he had 15 against Toronto in March.

A 15-year pro, he has been an NBA first-team all-star five  times and has two Olympic gold medals.
