Simons will provide a scoring punch to the Sixers' bench, averaging 14.3 points on 57.6% true shooting and 2.4 assists per game through stints with the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls this season.Philadelphia used the rest of what it had remaining of the non-taxpayer mid-level exception to nab Simons. The Sixers have one roster spot left, have $2.1 million left of the bi-annual exception, and possess $4.3 million in wiggle room from the first tax apron, which they are hard-capped at due to using the NTP-MLE.Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
