The Philadelphia 76ers signed point guard Javonte Smart on Sunday.
Smart, 24, played for the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat in 2021-22 as an undrafted rookie out of LSU. He also spent time in the G League that season before playing all of 2022-23 for the G League’s Birmingham Squadron.
As part of the 76ers’ summer league roster in June, Smart played in eight games and averaged 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.3 steals.
In 17 games (one start) at the NBA level, the 6-foot-4 guard has averaged 3.0 points over 11.8 minutes per contest. In the G League, Smart has career averages of 16.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals.
Philadelphia did not disclose contract terms, but multiple outlets reported that Smart signed an Exhibit 10 deal, a one-year minimum-salary contract that can be converted into a two-way agreement before the season.
