The 76ers have signed guard-forward James Young to a two-way contract.
The team announced the addition shortly before Friday’s home game agains the Detroit Pistons.
Young, the 17th overall pick in 2014 out of Kentucky, spent this season with G League team the Wisconsin Herd where he posted averages of 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game in 20 appearances.
