ORLANDO, Fla. — The Magic didn’t have to look very far to find their third point guard for this season.

Veteran Jason Williams, who has gone from flashy to steady in an 11-year career, will return for a second season after agreeing to terms on a new contract for the veteran’s minimum of $1.35 million.

Williams served as the backup to starter Jameer Nelson last season, but he is likely to play less with the addition of free agent Chris Duhon earlier this summer.

Williams, who went to the University of Florida and won an NBA title with the Miami Heat, has made Orlando his offseason home for several years.
