Sixers bring back Justin Anderson

Daryl Morey is truly bringing the Process full circle. Philadelphia stayed busy in adding to their roster yesterday, announcing the return of 6-foot-6 forward Justin Anderson. The 27-year-old originally joined the Sixers in 2017 as part of the Nerlens Noel trade (which famously also included the fake first). He spent 1.5 seasons here, appearing in 62 games total. He then played the past two seasons in Atlanta and Brooklyn, respectively.

Despite his limitations offensively (just a 29.6 percent career 3-point shooter), Anderson became something of a fan favorite during his time with the Sixers thanks to his hard-nosed defensive play, ferocious dunks, and A-plus bench celebrations.
