PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers have traded forward Johni Broome and a 2027 second-round draft pick to the Los Angeles Clippers for cash considerations.
In the deal announced Tuesday, the Clippers will receive the second-most favorable on Philadelphia's three second-round picks next year.
The move comes on the heels of the 76ers' free-agent signing of LeBron James to a two-year, veterans' minimum contract last week.
The 76ers drafted Broome with the 35th overall pick of the 2025, but he was limited to 11 games, spending, most of the season with Philadelphia's G League affiliate in Delaware. He averaged 21.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 blocked shots with the Blue Coats.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left Tuesday night’s 8-6 loss to the Washington Nationals with right hamstring tightness.
He was replaced in the bottom of the fourth inning by Kazuma Okamoto.
Guerrero, a six-time All-Star, grounded into a double play and reached on an infield single in his two at-bats. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Guerrero felt tightness when he touched first base on his single and turned toward second after an errant throw.
“He was a little sore and he wanted to stay in," Schneider said. “It was my call just to be careful with him and not have anything worse happen. ... He checked out pretty good and we'll see how he is tomorrow. It's a quick turnaround and, again, just trying to be smart with him. I don't want to lose him for an extended period of time.”
Guerrero is hitting .265 with six homers and 44 RBIs this season.
The 27-year-old slugger has played at least 156 games in each of the past five seasons. He has played in 103 of Toronto’s 108 games this year.
