Free agent center Montrezl Harrell is signing a two-year, $5.2 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told ESPN on Tuesday, bringing toughness to a team in search of it this offseason.
Harrell was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year for the 2019-20 season while playing for the LA Clippers under head coach Doc Rivers and assistant Sam Cassell, who are now with the 76ers.
The Sixers finalized the agreement, which includes a player option for the 2023-24 season, with Harrell's agent, Derrick Powell, on Tuesday, sources said.
Harrell joins a Sixers team that ranked 28th in bench scoring a year ago, trailed only by Chicago and Toronto, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
