The 76ers have signed veteran 3-point specialist Marco Belinelli, whose contract was bought out by the Atlanta Hawks. Philadelphia announced the move on Monday ahead of the Sixers’ matchup with the New York Knicks, which they won 108-92. Belinelli was averaging 11.4 points in 23.3 minutes per game with the Hawks, who bought him out to allow him to join a contending team. The Sixers held the eighth playoff position in the Eastern Conference entering Monday night’s game. The 31-year-old said he chose Philadelphia over Oklahoma City, Toronto, Milwaukee and Portland largely because he believes the 76ers are a team on the rise and wants to help their playoff push, alongside Ben Simmons and All-Star Joel Embiid. An 11-year veteran, Italian Belinelli has made 945 3-pointers in his career, connecting on 37.7 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.
