TORONTO - The Toronto Raptors re-signed free-agent forward Alan Anderson on Monday.

Anderson was signed to a 10-day contract by the Raptors on March 26 and then for the remainder of the season April 16, averaging 9.6 points, two rebounds and 27.1 minutes in 17 games with Toronto.

The six-foot-six, 220-pounder had a season-best 20 points to go along with a career-high five three-pointers April 26 versus New Jersey.

The 29-year-old Anderson has averaged 6.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 18.3 minutes in 70 appearances with Charlotte and Toronto.

Anderson, who has also spent time in the NBA D-League and overseas, was a four-year starter at Michigan State University, where he helped the Spartans reach the 2005 Final Four.
