The Memphis Grizzlies signed guard Chucky Atkins for another year, the team announced Monday. Terms were not disclosed.
He came to Memphis in January from the Washington Wizards. With the Grizzlies he averaged 11.4 points, 1.7 rebounds and three assists in 43 games.
"Having him and Damon Stoudamire as experienced point guards who can mentor our younger players is invaluable to this team," team president Jerry West said in a statement.

The Grizzlies have negotiated with point guard Chucky Atkins over the past few days and the free-agent could re-sign with the team as soon as today, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal is reporting.
Atkins will likely agree to a two-year deal, with the Grizzlies expected to use part of the mid-level exception to retain his services.
Atkins repeatedly said that he wanted to remain in Memphis.
"Of the teams that wanted me, I felt this was best the situation for me," Atkins said in January. "It was more conducive to the style of basketball that I play. Plus, they're one of the top teams in the West, and I know you can't win without good chemistry and without having good players."
