The Philadelphia 76ers continue to move forward with their free agency plans as they look to build a championship contending roster around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. They already agreed to a deal with Andre Drummond and now they’ve added another shooter.

The Sixers have agreed to a deal with veteran shooting guard Eric Gordon who spent the previous season with the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 11.0 points and 2.0 assists while shooting 37.8% from deep on 5.8 attempts per night.

Gordon spent seven seasons with the Houston Rockets from 2016 through 2023 so he has a history with President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey from their days together in Houston.

Gordon will look to space the floor for Embiid and Maxey to operate. One has to figure that while he likely won’t start, he will play a key role for Philadelphia. He has the shooting and the experience to help the Sixers get over the hump in the Eastern Conference.
