The Milwaukee Bucks re-signed forward Toni Kukoc to a one-year contract on Friday.

Kukoc played the last three of his 12 NBA seasons with Milwaukee, where he's averaged 8.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 189 regular-season games.

The Tribune reported last month that there was a chance the Bulls might decide to bring Kukoc back.

Kukoc has averaged 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 781 regular-season games. He's played in 96 playoff games and won three championships with the Bulls in the 1990s.

The Bulls drafted him in the second round in 1990. Kukoc also has played with Philadelphia and Atlanta.

"I've always had a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the way Toni plays the game," Bucks coach Terry Stotts said in a written statement. "In addition to his solid, veteran presence on the floor, Toni's knowledge and experience will be an invaluable asset to the younger players on our roster."
