Sixers Are Signing Montrezl Harrell

The Philadelphia 76ers are bringing aboard veteran Montrezl Harrell to a two-year contract deal. Harrell has previously played under head coach Doc Rivers and assistant Sam Casell with the Los Angeles Clippers from 2017-2020. He was also a part of the Houston Rockets for two seasons when Sixers President of Basketball Operations, Daryl Morey, was general manager. Harden, an ex teammate of Harrell’s in Houston, also had a say in bringing him to Philadelphia.

In the previous season, Harrell played a total of 71 games for the Washington Wizards (46) and Charlotte Hornets (25). He averaged 13.1 points (68 percent true shooting), 6.1 rebounds and two assists in 23.1 minutes per night. Harrell is a presiding roller, which will go well with Harden whenever Joel Embiid rests.
