Former Indiana guard Eric Gordon has inked a deal to return to the Philadelphia 76ers, the team announced on Tuesday night.

He initially declined his $3.4 million player option last week. Gordon’s new deal is expected to be the one-year veteran’s minimum worth $3.6 million, according to Adam Aaronson of the Philly Voice.

Gordon, 36, returns to the 76ers after averaging 6.8 points and shooting 40.9 percent from three in 39 games last year in his first year with the organization.

It was the first time in his career that he averaged anything less than double-digit points per game in a season.

His 40.9 percent from three was the fourth-highest mark in his career.

Gordon is entering his 18th season in the NBA. He has a career average of 15.3 points and 37.2 percent shooting from three on 2.3 made 3s a game.

After being selected 7th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft, Gordon has played for the Los Angles Clippers, New Orleans Pelicans, Houston Rockets and the Phoenix Suns. Gordon is one of seven active NBA players to make 2,000 three-pointers while shooting at least 37 percent from behind the arc.

Gordon was the Big Ten Player of the Year and Third Team All-American in his lone season with Indiana.
