Reports: 76ers sign C Dewayne Dedmon for rest of season

The Philadelphia 76ers are signing backup Dewayne Dedmon for the remainder of the season, multiple outlets reported Monday.

The team had been seeking a veteran backup to shore up the center position in the minutes All-Star Joel Embiid is off the court.

The Miami Heat traded Dedmon, 33, and a second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for a 2028 second-round pick and cash last week, and the Spurs waived Dedmon on Thursday.

He’s played with seven teams in 10 seasons. Dedmon has career averages of 6.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in 507 career games (209 starts). This season in Miami, he played in 30 games and averaged 5.7 points and 3.6 rebounds.

The 7-footer fell out of favor in Miami after a heated sideline spat with coach Erik Spoelstra in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 10. He was ejected after he threw a massage gun on the court, then suspended for one game without pay.

After the incident, he appeared in only one game for the Heat, playing 12 minutes in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 4.
