[Javier]

Philadelphia 76ers President Billy King announced today that the Sixers have signed free-agent and five-year NBA veteran Lee Nailon. Per team policy, terms of the contract are not disclosed.

A 6-foot-9, 238-pound forward, Nailon has averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game on 47.3 percent shooting in 284 career games (96 starts). Last season, while playing with the Hornets, Nailon posted career-highs in scoring (14.2 ppg), rebounding (4.4 rpg) and minutes (29.7 mpg) in 68 games (51 starts).

Throughout his NBA career, Nailon has played with five different teams – Charlotte/New Orleans Hornets (2000-02, 2004-05), New York Knicks (2002-03), Atlanta Hawks (2003-04), Orlando Magic (2003-04) and Cleveland Cavaliers (2003-04). He was a member of the Hornets 2001-02 playoff team that advanced to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

A five-year NBA veteran, Nailon was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the second round (43rd overall pick) of the 1999 NBA Draft. After playing one season in Italy (1999-00, Milano), he entered the NBA and played two seasons with the Hornets (2000-02). After spending the 2002-03 season with the Knicks and starting the 2003-04 season with the Hawks, he signed consecutive 10-day contracts with Orlando (1/5/04, 1/15/04). Nailon later signed a 10-day contract with the Cavaliers (3/3/04) before signing with Cleveland for the remainder of the season. He returned to the Hornets franchise for the 2004-05 season, signing as a free agent (9/30/04).

During his college career, Nailon played at two junior colleges (Southeastern CC, 1995-96 and Butler County CC, 1996-97) before spending his final two seasons at Texas Christian University. He averaged 23.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists in two seasons at TCU.
