Free-agent guard Tyler Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League, the team announced in a press release. This will be Johnson’s first professional stint overseas.

Johnson holds 354 games of NBA experience during his career, making stops with the Heat, Suns, Knicks, Sixers and Spurs. The 30-year-old signed 10-day hardship contracts with Philadelphia and San Antonio last season.

The best years of Johnson’s career have come with the Heat, where he signed a four-year, $50 million offer sheet in 2016. He went on to average 13.7 points and 3.2 assists per game the following season, shooting 43% from the floor and 37% from three-point range.

Johnson went unselected in the 2014 NBA Draft after playing four seasons at Fresno State. He worked out for at least one NBA team before committing to play in the NBL. In addition to Johnson, the Bullets also recently agreed to a deal with Aron Baynes, as we relayed.
