Leandro Barbosa's time in the NBA isn't done just yet.

Looking to add some depth to their backcourt, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly secured a commitment from Barbosa on a one-year deal at the veteran's minimum.

Last season saw the Phoenix Suns sign the Brazilian guard for the remainder of the campaign in January following a 10-day contract. Although he only appeared in 20 contests due to a hand injury, he averaged 7.5 points and 1.9 assists over 18.4 minutes per game.

Barbosa is about to take part in the FIBA World Cup alongside fellow countrymen Nene, Tiago Splitter and Anderson Varejao as part of a Brazil roster viewed as a dark horse at the tournament. 

Although the 31-year-old recently said "I'm just really focused on this World Cup" when asked about his NBA future, he'll undoubtedly be happy to have a deal locked up before the competition gets underway this Saturday.
