## Sixers Bolster Center Depth with DeAndre Jordan signing
The Philadelphia 76ers have addressed their need for a reliable backup center by signing veteran DeAndre Jordan for the remainder of the season. This move comes after the Sixers released Andre Drummond earlier this year, leaving a void behind starting center Joel Embiid. [[1]]
Jordan,who was recently waived by the Los angeles Lakers,brings a wealth of experience to the Sixers. The 14-year NBA veteran started 19 games for the Lakers this season before falling out of the rotation.He averaged 4.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. [[2]]
To make room for Jordan on the roster, the Sixers will release Willie Cauley-Stein, who signed a 10-day contract to provide temporary depth at the center position. [[3]]
