The Sixers signed an All-Star guard.
Sort of.
Former All-Star Baron Davis on Wednesday signed with the Delaware 87ers, the Sixers' D-League affiliate. Davis is expected to suit up for the Sevens on Friday night.
Yahoo! Sports first reported the news.
“Our organizational efforts continue to center on finding, developing, and providing opportunity to talented professionals,” Sixers chief of staff and 87ers general manager Brandon D. Williams said. “Baron still has much to contribute to the game, and we are excited to play a role as he transitions through the next phase of his successful career.”
Davis, 36, hasn't played in the NBA since the 2011-12 season. Davis was the third overall pick in 1999 out of Cal and was an All-Star in 2001-02 and 2003-04.
