Point guard Andre Miller, Timberwolves complete contract

MINNEAPOLIS: The Minnesota Timberwolves have completed their one-year contract with veteran point guard Andre Miller.
The deal was agreed to last week and announced Monday.
The 39-year-old Miller gives the Wolves a dependable, experienced player at a position with oft-injured starter Ricky Rubio and 19-year-old rookie Tyus Jones. This is Miller’s eighth NBA team in his 17th season in the league.
He averaged 4.4 points, 3.5 assists and 15.5 minutes per game last season, playing for Washington and then Sacramento after being traded to the Kings.
Only twice in his career has he played in fewer than 80 games: 2011-12 with Denver and 2013-14 with both the Nuggets and the Wizards. Miller leads all active players with 8,437 assists, putting him ninth all time.

Josh Richardson signs rookie deal with Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have signed guard Josh Richardson to his rookie contract.
Richardson agreed to the deal last week and signed it Monday. He could earn just more than $2.5 million over the next three years, though the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons are currently structured as partially guaranteed.
Richardson went in the second round of this year’s draft, taken at No. 40 overall after a four-year college career at Tennessee. He played some point guard and both wing positions for the Heat in summer leagues at Orlando and Las Vegas, averaging 11.8 points on 39 percent shooting.
He appeared in 10 summer games in a 14-day span and saved his best one for last, finishing with a 23-point effort against Sacramento’s summer club.
