**Philadelphia 76ers Re-Sign Veteran Sharpshooter Eric Gordon**
**PHILADELPHIA, PA (June 19, 2024)** – The Philadelphia 76ers have officially announced the re-signing of veteran guard Eric Gordon to a one-year deal. The move brings back a familiar face to the Sixers bench, adding crucial three-point shooting and veteran leadership to the roster.
While details of the contract were not disclosed, 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey expressed excitement about Gordon’s return. “Eric is a prolific shot maker whose ability to space the floor will serve our rotation well,” Morey stated. “He’s been a great fit on and off the court with this organization and we’re fortunate to have him back.”
Gordon, who previously played for the Sixers during the 2024-2025 season, appeared in 39 games, averaging 7 points per game while shooting an impressive 41 percent from beyond the arc. His return fills a need for reliable three-point shooting off the bench, an area the Sixers aimed to address last season.
The veteran declined a player option attached to his previous contract this summer, leaving his return to Philadelphia uncertain. However, the relationship between Gordon and the Sixers, particularly his connection with recent first-round pick VJ Edgecombe, ultimately paved the way for his re-signing.
Gordon’s presence is expected to provide valuable mentorship to younger players while solidifying the Sixers’ bench unit with his proven scoring ability.
