The 76ers announced this afternoon that they have re-signed restricted free agent Andre Iguodala.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but sources have said it is a 6-year contract worth $80 million, including an additional $5 million in incentive clauses and an opt-out clause after the fifth season.
"Andre is one of the top players in the NBA and he was a key factor in our turnaround last season," Comcast-Spectacor chairman Ed Snider said in a statement. "Keeping him a part of our roster was an important offseason move for us. I'm very excited that he has decided to remain a Philadelphia 76er."
Last season, the 24-year-old averaged a career-high 19.9 points per game and is one of 10 players under the age of 25 who ranked among the league's Top 30 scorers.
Iguodala is also one of a handful of players who have increased their scoring average in each of the past four seasons. Over the past two seasons, the Sixers have compiled a record of 46-30 (.605) in games in which Iguodala has scored 20-plus points and 24-58 (.293) in games in which he played and scored below 20 points.
Iguodala also averaged 5.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 2.09 steals last season, joining Caron Butler as the only players among qualifiers to average at least 19.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.00 steals.
"We have maintained since the beginning of this process that Andre was a main priority for us because he is one of the best all-around young players in the league and an integral part to the success of our team," team president/general manager Ed Stefanski said. "We are excited that we are able to keep a player with Andre's talent, athleticism and work ethic here in Philadelphia."
