Charlotte Bobcats center-forward Ryan Hollins signed a one-year qualifying offer that will bring him back to the team next season.

Under NBA collective-bargaining rules, Hollins will make about $1 million in this, his third NBA season.

Despite being a restricted free agent, Hollins played for the Bobcats' summer-league team in Las Vegas this month. He said then he planned to accept the Bobcats' offer, in part so that he could play for new coach Larry Brown.
