The 76ers are signing free agent guard Javonte Smart to an Exhibit 10 contract, ESPN reported Saturday.

Smart was a summer league standout for the Sixers, averaging 15.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists across eight games in Utah and Las Vegas.

Smart has previously signed two-way contracts with the Miami Heat and the Milwaukee Bucks and has played 17 career NBA games. Last season, Smart played 32 games for the Birmingham Squadron, the G League affiliate of the New Orleans Pelicans. He put up 13.6 points per game for the Squadron.

An Exhibit 10 contract is a one-year, minimum-salary deal. Teams can convert Exhibit 10 contracts to a two-way contract before the start of the NBA season.

Smart went undrafted in 2021 after spending three seasons at LSU, where he averaged 13 points.
