Unrestricted free agent Kris Humphries has a agreed to a one-year, $4-million deal to return to the Atlanta Hawks for the 2016-17 season, league sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.

The 31-year-old power forward spent most of last season with the Washington Wizards before being dealt to the Phoenix Suns prior to the trade deadline in a package for Markieff Morris. Phoenix then waived Humphries on a buyout agreement after three starts, with Atlanta picking him up just days later.

"Of course," Humphries said in May when asked if he wants to be back in Atlanta, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore. "It’s been a great experience for me after being traded and ending up here. Coach (Mike Budenholzer) really wanted me here. Being able to get here and have this experience is great."

In 21 appearances with the Hawks, Humphries averaged 6.4 points on 46.5 percent shooting, along with 3.4 rebounds in 14 minutes coming off the bench.
