By Brandon Apter, managing editor Sixers sign Gerald Henderson to a two-year deal

The Philadelphia 76ers made another move via free agency on Tuesday morning, signing shooting guard Gerald Henderson to a two-year contract.

Henderson, 28, averaged 8.7 points on 43.9 percent shooting last season with the Trail Blazers. He is a career 31.9 percent shooter from three-point range.

The signing comes just a few days after the Sixers agreed to a three-year deal with Jerryd Bayless and a one-year deal with Sergio Rodriguez.

Henderson was taken by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 12th overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. He played five seasons in Charlotte before being traded to Portland for Nicolas Batum on June 24, 2015.
