Sixers to Work Out Joe Johnson
According to Marc Spears of ESPN, veteran shooting guard Joe Johnson is in Philadelphia for a workout with the Sixers tomorrow. Johnson is also expected to workout for the Clippers, Bucks, and Nuggets.
Johnson is the reigning MVP of Ice Cube’s BIG3 basketball league and is a proven veteran scorer. In the BIG3, he has been almost unstoppable and has helped his team advance to the championship game thanks to a game-winning three-pointer in the semifinals.

With the Sixers, Johnson would provide a veteran voice in the locker room and a scoring spark off of the bench. In the NBA, he averaged 16 points per game while shooting 37% from the three-point line. He is arguably most known for being a fantastic crunch-time performer. He has hit numerous game-winning shots in his career and judging by his recent BIG3 play, he’s still got ice in his veins.
With a youthful and defensive-minded bench, the Sixers could benefit from a veteran scoring presence. In addition, Johnson has been a part of successful teams and knows what it takes to win.
