Ray Allen's agent: 'Ray has not decided if he will play this season'

For a guy who has laid low and hasn't said much since the last time he took the court, Ray Allen's name hasn't exactly been kept out of the headlines.

While the 39-year-old free agent remains undecided on whether to return for a 19th NBA season, Allen has been linked to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, and San Antonio Spurs over the last few months, with some reporting on Tuesday that he had chosen Cleveland.

Allen's agent, Jim Tanner of Tandem Sports, took to Twitter to shoot down any such rumors later on Tuesday.

Waiting this long into the year to make a decision usually wouldn't be recommended, but when you're the NBA's all-time three-point king, you can afford to bide your time knowing that a contender will welcome you with open arms at any time.

Allen's 37.5 three-point percentage last season was his lowest mark in four years and fell short of his career average of 40 percent. But he also shot threes at a nearly 42-percent clip in 2012-13, and remains more than capable of being one of the game's better sharpshooters off the bench.
