LAS VEGAS – The 76ers veteran leadership remains intact.
The team announced Monday that it has re-signed Amir Johnson. While terms were not publicly disclosed, sources said the power forward/center would get a one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $2.393 million. This announcement comes two weeks after the team re-signed JJ Redick to a one-year deal.
Johnson originally signed a one-year, $11 million contract last July. At the time, the Sixers looked to him and Redick to provide leadership and make an on-court impact. Redick and Johnson did both.
As a result, the team always considered bringing both of them back if the Sixers weren’t able to lure LeBron James or Paul George in free agency.
