THE SIDELINES : Mullin Signs 9-Year Warriors Pact
- Share via
OAKLAND — Chris Mullin has signed a nine-year contract with the Golden State Warriors, the NBA team announced today.
Terms were not disclosed.
Mullin, 26, averaged 26.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 5.1 assists last year in his fourth season. Only Chicago’s Michael Jordan and Portland’s Clyde Drexler had higher averages in all three categories. He was named to the All-Star team and All-NBA second team.
The Warriors’ first-round draft pick out of St. John’s in 1985, Mullin became a restricted free agent following last season. There have been repeated rumors throughout his career that the Brooklyn native might eventually sign with the New York Knicks as a free agent, but the signing precludes that. Mullin’s salary was $700,000 last season.
