Eric Gordon has agreed to sign a one-year, minimum-salary deal with the Sixers, a source confirmed Sunday night to NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania first reported Gordon’s agreement and PHLY Sports’ Kyle Neubeck first reported that he was joining the Sixers on a minimum contract.

The 35-year-old shooting guard spent his prime years with the Rockets during current Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey’s time as GM. He won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award for the 2016-17 season and averaged 15.7 points over 379 games with Houston.

Gordon’s a high-volume three-point shooter and capable secondary ball handler. He posted 11.0 points, 2.0 assists and 1.8 rebounds per game last season for the Suns, shooting 37.8 percent from long range on 5.8 attempts per contest.

In addition to Gordon, the Sixers came to terms with Andre Drummond in the opening stages of free agency.

This is a developing story. More to come.
