Sixers sign veteran DeAndre Jordan as backup center

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Veteran center DeAndre Jordan has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday, days after being released by the Los Angeles Lakers. The 33-year-old Jordan will join Paul Millsap as a backup center for the Sixers, who dealt Andre Drummond to Brooklyn as a part of the multiplayer deal that sent Ben Simmons to the Nets in exchange for James Harden last month.
