76ers Signing Veteran Forward Montrezl Harrell to Two-Year Deal, per Report

The 76ers are signing center Montrezl Harrell to a two-year deal that includes a player option, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. It was reported last week that a felony marijuana trafficking charge against Harrell in Kentucky has been reduced to a misdemeanor possession charge.

The former Hornets big man was pulled over for following a vehicle in front of him too closely in May while in Richmond, Ky, according to police records obtained by Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer. The Kentucky state trooper “upon stop observed odor of marijuana,” and as written in the report, Harrell “admitted to being in possession of marijuana and produced a small amount from his sweatpants.
