The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed guard Anthony Carter. Per club policy terms of the agreement were not announced.

?Anthony Carter is a proven NBA player who has experience as both a starter and a reserve,? said Spurs General Manager R.C. Buford. ?He is a good defensive player and will fit well into our system.?

The 6-2, 195-pound Carter has spent his entire four-year NBA career with the Miami Heat. Last season he averaged 4.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 18.6 minutes in 49 games. In 26 games as a starter, he had 5.3 points, 5.4 assists and 1.09 steals in 23.8 minutes.

?This is a fresh start for me and a great honor to play for the defending World Champions,? said Carter. ?It will be a tremendous challenge to return to championship form, but it is a challenge I think we will be up to.?
