Now, that possibility is a reality. The Sixers have officially announced that they have re-signed Gordon on a deal. He was limited to only 39 games in the 2024-25 season as he underwent wrist surgery, but he averaged 6.8 points, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 rebounds while shooting 40.9% from deep.

Eric Gordon remained a 76er after all. The shooting guard re-signed a one-year, veteran minimum contract on Tuesday. This transaction comes two days after Gordon declined his $3.4 million player option for next season.

The deal has been reported by Derek Bodner of PHLY to be a one year deal for the veteran’s minimum. Gordon’s initial salary was also the minimum, but by signing a new one he actually makes a little bit more money while it benefits the Sixers’ cap sheet as well.
