The Philadelphia 76ers signed Justin Anderson to a partially guaranteed contract on Friday.

On Friday, Daryl Morey continued his myth-building campaign by signing fan-favorite Justin Anderson to a partially guaranteed contract. He will compete for the Philadelphia 76ers’ 15th roster spot in camp, with Derrick Walton Jr. and Ryan Broekhoff his main competition.

Anderson spent last season with Brooklyn, where he averaged 10.7 minutes across 10 games played. He has been on the outskirts of NBA competition for a while, but it wasn’t too long ago — 2018, in fact — that Anderson was a part of the Sixers’ rotation.
