On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA free market came again with news, and Jordan Jr., who was previously cut by the Lakers, officially made a decision after spending a 48-hour clarification period and completed the signing with the 76ers.
Soon, the 76ers officially announced the signing, officially signing free agent Jordan Jr.
In order to sign Jordan Jr., the 76ers also terminated their 10-day contract with Cauley-Stein early, and he can now sign with any team. Last offseason, Jordan Jr. joined the Lakers after being bought out, but he gradually fell out of the rotation lineup and was finally cut by the team. He played 32 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 12.8 minutes per game and having 4.1 points and 5.4 rebounds.
For the 76ers, Jordan Jr. is not unfamiliar, harden who has just been traded here, and he has previously played for the Nets. Head coach Rivers is also his former manager, and it was under his coaching that he grew into an All-Star center (also to Paul's credit).
After joining the 76ers, Jordan Jr. will also change his player number and will wear the no. 9 jersey, which is also the new number of his career. The Clippers and Nets are wearing the No. 6 jersey, while the Lakers are the No. 10 jersey. The 76ers' No. 6 jersey, which belongs to Julius Irving, has retired and can only change numbers.
Jordan Jr. can join the 76ers as desired this time, but also thanks to the completion of the Lakers. Due to the loss of rotation places in the Lakers, Jordan Jr. was also a little unsatisfactory, and finally the two sides reached an agreement, and the Lakers cut him. Lakers coach Vogel revealed, "Jordan Jr. feels that he can play a bigger role in the 76ers, so the Lakers are willing to be adult beauty and give him this opportunity." Jordan Jr. also thanked the Lakers after joining the 76ers.
Jordan Jr. joined the 76ers this time, which may also be his last chance to prove himself, and once he is abandoned again, he may really have to consider retiring.
