Sources with knowledge of the situation told the Sacramento Bee that Eddie Jordan signed a guaranteed three-year deal to coach the 76ers.
Jordan will be paid $2 million in the first season, $3 million in the second and $3.1 million in the third.
After being fired by the Wizards last November, the team owes him $4 million. That amount will be offset by his new deal.
