As first reported by Liberty Ballers alumnus Jake Fischer, the Sixers have reached an agreement to bring back veteran big man Amir Johnson. The deal is for 1 year, at a reported $2.39 million.
Johnson averaged totals of 4.6 points, 4.5 rebounds and .6 blocks in 15.8 minutes per contest last season, while shooting 53.8% from the field. Most notably, he brought a defensive edge and air of intensity to a young club in need of experience.
This time last offseason, Johnson found himself on the receiving end of a substantial $11 million one year deal to join a young and unproven Sixers squad.
