The NBA’s moratorium on deals is now over, which means teams can officially sign free agents to contracts and complete trades.
The Sixers made some draft-night moves official on Thursday by finalizing the trades of second-round picks Jawun Evans to the LA Clippers and Sterling Brown to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Evans was selected 39th overall by the Sixers and dealt to the Bucks for cash considerations. The 6-0, 185-pound point guard averaged 16.6 points, 5.8 assists and 3.8 rebounds a game during two seasons at Oklahoma State. He shot 44.8 percent from the field and 40.7 percent from three-point range over that span.
Brown was drafted 46th overall by the Sixers and also shipped to the Bucks for cash considerations. Brown, a 6-foot-6, 200-pound shooting guard and the brother of former NBA player Shannon Brown, spent four years at SMU. He recorded 8.2 points, 4.8 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steal a night. Brown connected on 50.4 percent from the field and 45.1 percent from beyond the arc during his time with the Mustangs.
Both Evans and Brown will compete for their respective teams in the MGM Resorts NBA Summer League in Las Vegas when play begins this weekend.
