The 76ers are adding a veteran presence to back up MVP candidate Joel Embiid.
Veteran center DeAndre Jordan has cleared waivers and plans to sign with the Sixers ahead of the playoff push, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
The reported signing comes two days after Philadelphia emerged as a frontrunner for the 33-year-old’s service following his release from the Lakers on Monday.
The Sixers will terminate center Willie Cauley-Stein’s 10-day contract in order to make room for Jordan, per Charania. Cauley-Stein appeared in two games and played a total of five minutes since signing with the team last week.
