Walker returns to NBA on 2-year deal with Sixers

Lonnie Walker IV has agreed to a two-year, $3.7 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, his agent George S. Langberg of GSL Sports Group told ESPN on Tuesday.

Walker has played for Zalgiris Kaunas in the Euroleague this season and had an NBA-out in his deal. He now enters his seventh NBA season after attending training camp with the Boston Celtics in October.

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.

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 and has dealt with a series of injuries across its roster.

The 76ers, in the middle of one of the league's most disappointing seasons, sits in a tie with the Nets for 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings heading into the post All-Star Break schedule, which begins Thursday at home against the Celtics.

Philadelphia is 1.5 games behind the 10th place Chicago Bulls for the final spot in East's play-in picture and a full 8.5 games back of the Detroit Pistons for the sixth and final guaranteed playoff spot.

Walker spent the first four years of his career with the San Antonio Spurs after being selected with the 18th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft.

ESPN's Tim Bontemps contributed to this report.
