MADRID, Spain -- Jose Calderon reached a "preliminary agreement" Tuesday to remain with the Toronto Raptors for another season.

The 26-year-old Spanish guard wrote on his website that his agent and the NBA club had reached a deal.

"I want to thank ... all of the Raptors family for the confidence that they have placed in me. I am sure that together we are going to achieve big things in the future," Calderon said.

Calderon, who was in the Spanish capital on Tuesday to meet with his Spain teammates ahead of the Olympic Games, has averaged 8.7 points and 6.1 assists per game in three seasons with Toronto.
