NBA's 76ers sign jersey sponsor

The NBA's Philadelphia 76ers will next season become the first team in US major league sports to have a sponsor appear on their playing jersey.

The laughing stock of the NBA has become the first team in US major league sports to have a sponsor appear on their playing jersey.

The Philadelphia 76ers have teamed up with StubHub in a landmark deal which will see their jersey for the 2016-17 NBA season carry the ticketing agency's logo.

The 76ers franchise - which has former Australian Boomers head coach Brett Brown at the helm - has been one of the worst-performing across all of America's major sports in recent years, winning just 10 of 72 games in the past season.
