Free agent guard Tyus Jones has agreed to return to the Denver Nuggets on a one-year contract, according to ESPN.

Jones joined Denver late last season after signing with the team on the buyout market and provided experienced depth in the backcourt while coming off the bench.

The veteran point guard is entering his 12th NBA season and will remain with the Nuggets after his agent, Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management, finalized the agreement with team officials.
