Croatian Dario Saric has signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, the team said on Friday, two years after acquiring the rights to the highly rated forward.
Saric, a two-time Europe Young Men's Player of the Year, was selected 12th by the Orlando Magic in the 2014 NBA draft, and traded to the 76ers.
The 22-year-old has spent the past two seasons playing for Anadolu Efes in the Turkish League.
In 2015-16, he averaged 11 points and six rebounds while shooting 48 per cent from the floor.
Last week he was named MVP of the 2016 Olympic qualifying tournament after helping Croatia earn an Olympic berth with an overtime victory over Italy.
