This former Sixth Man of the Year played for the Houston Rockets, LA Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets, and Philadelphia 76ers.
Montrezl Harrell was selected 32nd overall in the 2015 NBA draft by the Houston Rockets. Spending three years in Houston, Harrell was sent to the LA Clippers in the Chris Paul trade. Harrell emerged into a star-level offensive player off LA’s bench, winning Sixth Man of the Year in 2020 when he averaged 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds.
Missing all of last season with an ACL injury, Harrell was waived by the 76ers before the season began. Still just 30 years old, Harrell should still have several years of basketball ahead of him, but those may not come in the NBA. NBA veteran Montrezl Harrell has agreed to a deal with the Adelaide 36ers, sources told ESPN. He’ll be an injury replacement for Jarell Martin.

Harrell has spent eight seasons in the NBA, owning career averages of 12.1 points and 5.0 rebounds. Depending on how Harrell returns from his ACL injury, the 36ers could be getting a very high-level player.Limited defensively because of his height, Harrell was always a very talented offensive post player. Not many NBA players still operate primarily in the post the way Harrell did in his career, and it was very effective.
