The Sixers have agreed to terms with veteran swingman Danny Green on a two-year deal, $20M that will bring him back to Philadelphia, according to his "Inside The Green Room" podcast co-host Harrison Sanford. A league source confirms the news to veteran NBA reporter Marc Stein.
The second year on Green’s new contract with Philadelphia will be a team option, per Sanford. Because the 76ers have Early Bird rights on the 34-year-old, they won’t need to use their mid-level exception to complete the signing.
According to Sanford, Green had discussions with the Nets, Celtics, Bucks, Bull, and Warriors, among other teams, during free agency this week. He turned down a two-year offer from the Cavaliers, Sanford adds.
A 12-year NBA veteran who has won titles with three different teams, Green started all 69 games he played for Philadelphia in 2020-21, averaging 9.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals with a .412/.405/.775 shooting line in 28.0 minutes per game.
Green has long been a reliable three-and-D wing, having knocked down 40.1% of his career attempts from beyond the arc.
The Sixers waived George Hill this week and lost Dwight Howard to the Lakers, but they have now lined up deals to bring back both Green and Furkan Korkmaz. The club also signed Andre Drummond to a minimum-salary contract on Wednesday and has agreed to a deal with forward Georges Niang.
