The Orlando Magic and Arron Afflalo have reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.1-million contract, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Afflalo previously played for the Magic from 2012-14, posting his two highest season scoring averages of 16.5 points per game in 2012-13 and 18.2 points per game the following year.

Though he's spent much of the past decade as a starter, the 31-year-old Afflalo will likely move to a bench role behind presumptive starters Evan Fournier and Terrence Ross. He will fill out the wing rotation alongside Mario Hezonja and the recently signed Jonathon Simmons.

Afflalo's scoring dropped to 8.4 points per game with the Sacramento Kings last season, but he was able to shoot 41.1 percent on 2.5 3-point attempts a night. His outside shooting will provide spacing that will allow more room in the paint for talented, but range-limited options, such as point guard Elfrid Payton and forward Aaron Gordon.
