The Philadelphia 76ers have successfully re-signed veteran guard Eric Gordon to a one-year, $3.6 million deal. Gordon, who previously declined a $3.5 million player option, had a limited role last season, averaging 6.8 points in 19.7 minutes across 39 games. He underwent wrist surgery but remains a critical asset to the team, especially for rookie VJ Edgecombe, who expressed excitement about playing alongside Gordon.

76ers President Daryl Morey praised Gordon's shooting prowess, which will enhance the team's depth as they aim for an NBA title. Gordon’s experience could also be invaluable in nurturing the burgeoning talent of Edgecombe, who values the mentorship of an established NBA player.
