Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The San Antonio Spurs just keep getting stronger after veteran David West agreed to join the title contenders for the next season of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
West will join the Spurs on a one-year minimum salary contract worth $1.4 million, after walking away from a $12 million deal with the Indiana Pacers.
The Spurs pried West away from the Pacers, where he spent the last four seasons of his career.
Last season, West averaged 11.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.4 assists.
Meanwhile, veteran guard Manu Ginobili took to social media and announced his return to the roster for the next season.

Ginobili averaged 10.5 points, 3 rebounds, and 4.2 assists for the Spurs in the 2014-15 season.
