The Philadelphia 76ers made the Adem Bona signing official on
The team’s President of Basketball Operations, Daryl Morey, announced that the rookie center Adem Bona has been signed to a deal. The second-rounder lands a standard contract ahead of the 2024-2025 NBA season.
Last year, the sophomore center saw a slight increase in playing time. More minutes meant more production. Throughout the year, Bona produced 12 points, six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks per game. He averaged 59 percent from the field and 70 percent from the free throw line. Bona became the fourth center to get selected by Daryl Morey’s front office. In 2020, Paul Reed was the first, coming to the Sixers 58th overall out of DePaul. The following year, the Sixers double-dipped on bigs in the second round, taking Filip Petrusev out of Gonzaga before calling on Charles Bassey out of Western Kentucky two picks later.
As for Petrusev, his NBA days were very limited. He started his career as a Euro stash. After debuting for the Sixers two seasons later, Petrusev was traded to the LA Clippers. He was then flipped to the Sacramento Kings, who then waived him.
