Contract agreements with free agents become official Thursday, per NBA rules.
Zeller, 30, will be with his third team in three seasons after playing his first eight campaigns with the Charlotte Hornets.
Zeller was signed as a free agent by the Miami Heat in February and averaged 6.5 points and 4.3 rebounds in 15 games (two starts). Zeller played in 21 postseason games, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds, as the Heat reached the NBA Finals before falling to the Denver Nuggets.
