Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Moments after using their amnesty clause on forward Elton Brand, the Philadelphia 76ers signed guard Nick Young to a reported one-year contract.

Reports also place the value of Young's contract at $6 million, although the team did not release the official numbers.

Young split last season between the Wizards and Clippers and averaged 14.2 points per contest while shooting 36.5 percent from three-point range. He spent all but the latter part of last season with the Wizards, and, in a five- year career, has per-game averages of 11.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.9 assists.
