Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images A day after reportedly acquiring former NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brown from the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers agreed to a two-year, $12.3 million deal with free agent guard Anfernee Simons, ESPN reported on Thursday.
Simons, 27, who played with Brown in Boston last season, will have a player option in the second season, per the report.
In the reported Brown deal, the Sixers will send veteran forward Paul George to the Celtics along with first-round picks in 2028 and 2031 and second-round picks in 2028 and 2030.
Simons joined the Celtics last July in the trade that sent Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers, and averaged 14.2 points per game while shooting 39.5% from 3-point range in 49 games.
Simons was on the move again in February, dealt to the Bulls in exchange for forward Nikola Vucevic, but a left wrist injury limited the guard to just six games with Chicago before ending his season. For the season, Simons averaged 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 55 games (five starts).
A first-round pick (No. 24 overall) of the Trail Blazers in the 2018 draft, Simons will give the Sixers’ bench an offensive lift it was lacking last season. He has averaged at least 17 ppg four times and is a career 38.5% 3-point shooter.
Over eight NBA seasons, Simons has averaged 14.9 ppg, 3.2 apg and 2.5 rpg in 444 games (218 starts).

Fans cheer as Tiger Woods makes his way to the 11th tee during the third round of the Memorial Tournament on Saturday, June 1, 2019 at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. [Joshua A. Bickel/Dispatch] Prosecutors in Tiger Woods’ DUI case have been allowed to obtain hospital records connected to the golfer’s medical treatment following his rollover crash in Jupiter Island, Fla.
Court documents revealed that prosecutors and Woods’ defense team agreed to allow the State of Florida to request records from Clinic Martin South Hospital related to his hospitalization on March 27.
Per Golf Digest, the State Attorney’s office filed a notice of its intent to subpoena Woods’ medical history from the hospital, specifically seeking “any and all reports documenting statements of the patient regarding alcohol or chemical substances use” and “any and all drug screen results.”
Martin County Judge Darren Steele signed the order on June 23, with the prosecutors and defense agreeing to limit the disclosures to only the State, their designated law enforcement officers and prosecution experts. The records must remain confidential and cannot be shared beyond those parties, per the order.
Woods’ attorney previously challenged a request from prosecutors to subpoena the golfer’s prescription drug records in April.
Woods, 50, has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor DUI charges following the two-vehicle crash.
Following the arrest, the 15-time major champion announced that he was stepping away from golf to seek treatment.
