The 38-year-old is expected to provide reliable shooting off the bench and, more importantly, leadership to the youngest team in the NBA.
The 6-foot-2 combo guard has suited up for five teams over 17 NBA seasons, most recently with the Houston Rockets. He averaged 6.5 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.3 rebounds over the last two campaigns, mostly in a reserve role.
"The Jet" has played the majority of his career with the Dallas Mavericks, with whom he won his only championship in 2011 and played alongside Jason Kidd, who's now the Bucks head coach.
Terry thanked Kidd in a tweet after the signing became official.
I would like to thank God, my family and @Bucks @RealJasonKidd for allowing me to continue my journey #18in pic.twitter.com/stGbQDb355
