Matthew Dellavedova is returning to Melbourne United after signing a two-year deal with the NBL team.

"With the World Cup this year, then the Olympics next year, I feel like it's best for me to play a lot," said Dellavedova.

Dellavedova appeared in just 32 games with the Kings last season, averaging 1.5 points per game.

The 32-year-old did not rule out a return to the NBA in the future.
