Anfernee Simons Agrees to 2-Year Deal with Philadelphia 76ers
- On Thursday, the Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million deal with free agent guard Anfernee Simons, featuring a player option for the second season.
- Following Wednesday's trade for Jaylen Brown, the 76ers sought to bolster their bench after sixth man Quentin Grimes agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.
- Simons, 27, averaged 14.3 points and shot 38.5 percent from three-point range with the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls, providing offensive utility despite his 6-foot-2 frame limiting him defensively.
- Philadelphia utilized the remainder of the non-taxpayer mid-level exception to finalize the deal, leaving the team hard-capped with $4.3 million in remaining wiggle room from the first tax apron.
- With a revamped roster, the 76ers appear deeper for the upcoming season; Simons joins free-agent additions Ariel Hukporti and Dean Wade to bolster depth around star Joel Embiid.
