-

The Milwaukee Bucks have re-signed free agent guard George Hill.

The team said Tuesday that Hill, who was acquired from Cleveland in December in a fiveplayer, three-team trade, will return on a three-year deal.

“George is a consummate pro and an important part of our team,” said Bucks general manager Jon Horst. “His veteran leadership and steady guard play were instrument­al to our success last season, both during the regular season and the playoffs. We are thrilled to have him back with the Bucks.”

Hill, 33, average 6.8 points,

2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists over 47 games with the Bucks last season. He also played in all 15 of Milwaukee’s playoff games, averaging 11.5 points on 53.4% shooting in just more than 26 minutes per game.

Hill has played 11 seasons in the NBA, including stints with the Spurs, Pacers, Jazz, Kings and the Cavaliers. He was the

26th overall pick by San Antonio in the 2008.
