Sixers sign Filip Petrušev, a draft pick in 2021

Filip Petrušev finally got his wish.

The team announced Monday that the center/power was signed to a standard NBA contract. This comes after he was stashed overseas during the previous two seasons. This move comes as no surprise as Petrušev was expected to get a chance to make the roster this season. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
