Nerlens Noel Signs 4-Year Contract with Philadelphia 76ers
Deal Worth $14.33 Million
Philadelphia 76ers Retain Key Player
In a move that solidifies their commitment to building a contending roster, the Philadelphia 76ers have signed free agent center Nerlens Noel to a four-year, $14.33 million contract. The deal includes $14.33 million guaranteed and an average annual salary of $3.58 million.
Noel, a former first-round pick of the New Orleans Pelicans in 2013, has become a valuable asset to any team he's played for. Known for his defensive prowess and ability to protect the rim, Noel has been a consistent contributor throughout his career. In the 2022-23 season with the Detroit Pistons, Noel averaged 6.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks per game.
The 76ers have high hopes for Noel, seeing him as a key piece in their quest for an NBA championship. With Joel Embiid already established as one of the league's top centers, Noel provides a reliable backup and defensive presence. His signing is a testament to the team's commitment to building a well-rounded roster that can compete at the highest level.
For Noel, the contract marks a significant milestone in his career. Despite facing early injuries and setbacks, he has persevered to become a valuable player. The three-year, $27.77 million contract he signed with the New York Knicks in 2020 was already a significant achievement, but this latest deal with the 76ers solidifies his position as a key contributor in the NBA.
