Australian Jonah Bolden has agreed to a four-year $7 million rookie deal with the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA.
The 76ers traded centre Richaun Holmes to Phoenix to create the roster spot for Bolden.
The 22-year-old was taken with the 36th pick in the 2017 draft, but spent a season in Tel Aviv.

Bolden joins fellow Aussie and NBA Rookie of the Year Ben Simmons on the roster.
With Andrew Bogut’s return to the NBL, Bolden’s signing means we have nine Aussies currently playing in the NBA.
