Beverley is reuniting with Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey. The 11-year veteran played his first five NBA seasons with the Houston Rockets while Morey was the team’s general manager.He played last season with the Los Angeles Lakers and his hometown Chicago Bulls.

After being waived three days later, Beverley signed with the Bulls on Feb. 21.
In 22 games with Chicago, Beverley averaged 5.8 points, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steal. His presence should improve the Sixers’ poor perimeter defense. Beverley, who turns 35 years old on July 12, is a three-time All-Defensive selection.Beverley played with James Harden as a member of the Rockets and Tobias Harris with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, the Harden and Sixers are working on a trade for the 10-time All-Star. So there’s a chance that he won’t reunite with his former teammate.
