The San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a deal with recently waived shooting guard Kevin Martin, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.

Martin reached a buyout with the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, and officially cleared waivers Friday morning. He was reportedly also being pursued by the Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, and Houston Rockets.

He'll be the second Timberwolf to sign on with San Antonio after being bought out this week, joining 39-year-old point guard Andre Miller.

The Spurs, meanwhile, are about to get an influx of wing depth, as Manu Ginobili is set to return after a 12-game absence due to a testicular injury.

The 33-year-old Martin struggled for the Wolves this season, hitting a career-low 37.7 percent of his field goals, and seeing his scoring average (10.6), true shooting percentage (52.3), and PER (12.2) sink to decade-long lows.
