The 76ers have gotten back the point guard they coveted.
The team acquired Ish Smith from the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for two future second-round picks. To make room, the Sixers released point guard Tony Wroten.
Smith averaged 12 points, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 25 games last season with the Sixers after being claimed off waivers from the Pelicans. The Sixers chose not to resign him in the offseason.
He spent time with the Washington Wizards in the preseason. After being waived on Oct. 24, he was claimed two days later by the Pelicans.
