AP source: Jerryd Bayless gets 3 years, $27M from 76ers

A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to terms with point guard Jerryd Bayless on a three-year deal worth $27 million.

The two sides came to agreement on Friday afternoon. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal cannot be signed until July 7.

The 27-year-old Bayless was a valuable backup for the Milwaukee Bucks for the last two seasons. He averaged 10.4 points and 3.1 assists last season.

Bayless will give the 76ers an experienced point guard, which the team prioritized heading into free agency.
