The Brazilian Blur is returning to the Valley of the Sun.

Guard Leandro Barbosa agreed to a two-year, $8-million deal with the Phoenix Suns, league sources told The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The second year will reportedly include a team option, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

Barbosa, 33, suited up for the Suns upon entering the league in 2003, playing seven seasons with the franchise before being traded to the Toronto Raptors in 2010. He then returned for 20 games during the 2013-14 campaign after competing in Brazil.

The former Sixth Man of the Year played the last two seasons with the Golden State Warriors, capturing his first NBA championship in 2014-15. He averaged 6.7 points and 1.4 assists coming off the bench in 134 appearances.
