REPORT: NBA Star to sign NBL deal

Thursday, September 12, 2024

Montrezl Harrell will join the Adelaide 36ers as an injury replacement player, according to ESPN's Olgun Uluc.

Former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Montrezl Harrell is set to sign a deal with the Adelaide 36ers, ESPN’s Olgun Uluc is reporting.

According to Uluc, Harrell will join the club as an injury replacement player for Jarell Martin, who is expected to spend time on the sidelines early in the season.

“Harrell will be on a short-term deal, sources said, but there's potential for him to remain with the team even when Martin is healthy. The 36ers would need to deactivate a local player in order to accommodate that,” Uluc reported.

Harrell has spent time at five different NBA teams across 549 games, averaging 18.6 points a game with the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2019-20 season, and most recently lining up for the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2022-23 campaign.
