Former Kansas University point guard Jacque Vaughn on Tuesday exercised his contract option with the San Antonio Spurs, meaning he will be under contract with the team through the 2008-09 season.

Vaughn, 33, is in the final year of a deal that pays him about $2.5 million total. He has been with the Spurs the past two seasons — including the 2006-07 championship season — serving as backup to Tony Parker.

The 11-year veteran has career averages of 4.6 points and 2.5 assists per game.
