Lonnie Walker IV has signed a two-year, $3 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, bringing in needed scoring and athleticism to a team struggling with injuries and offensive rating. After spending time in the Euroleague, Walker is entering his seventh NBA season and had valuable tenure with the Brooklyn Nets, where he averaged almost 10 points per game. The 76ers currently sit 11th in the Eastern Conference, eyeing the playoffs as they prepare for a crucial post All-Star Break stretch.
Walker will give the 76ers some additional athleticism and scoring punch on the wings -- both of which could be useful for a Philadelphia team that enters the stretch run ranked 22nd in offensive rating.
Walker, 26, averaged nearly 10 points and 38.4% shooting from 3-point range in 17.4 minutes per game for the Brooklyn Nets last season.
