Ray Allen

The Boston Celtics announced today that guard Ray Allen has exercised his option to stay with the team for the 2011-12 season. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. He should make around $10 million for the season.

Allen, a 6’5” guard, shot a career-high 44.4% from the three-point line during the 2010-11 season and averaged 16.5 points, 3.4 rebound, 2.7 assists and 0.96 steals per game.  Allen made his 10th All-Star team for his work during the season and was named to his third All-Star appearance in four years with the Celtics.  The former UConn Husky became the NBA’s all-time three-point field goals made leader when he passed Reggie Miller against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 10, 2011.  Allen is currently ranked as the 24th highest scorer in NBA history with 22,286 career points.
