Report: Scott back in Philly on 2-year, $9.8M contract

The Philadelphia 76ers have re-signed forward Mike Scott to a two-year, $9.8-million contract, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Scott joined the 76ers in February along with Tobias Harris from the Los Angeles Clippers. He averaged 7.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game during the 2018 regular season.

The 30-year-old became a popular figure in Philadelphia during the team's playoff run, contributing off the bench with solid 3-point shooting while adding veteran leadership.

Scott shot 41 percent from deep over 27 regular-season games after being acquired and converted 35 percent from behind the arc in the playoffs. He'll likely remain a key forward off the bench in 2019.
