Rockets trade James Ennis to 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are adding James Ennis from the Houston Rockets in exchange for draft considerations, according to multiple media reports.

The Associated Press, citing a source, said an NBA trade call was needed to complete the deal prior to the 3 p.m. ET trade deadline.

Philadelphia will become the sixth club for the well-traveled Ennis, who averaged 7.4 points for the Rockets this season.

Ennis has also played for Miami, New Orleans, Memphis and Detroit. He's a career 36 percent shooter from 3-point range and will add to Philadelphia's bench depth.

The Rockets, who will create a $1.6 million trade exception with the deal, are inching their way closer to getting under the luxury tax. The Rockets save $2.4 million with the trade and are now $2.4 million above the tax threshold.

Houston started the season with a tax bill of $14.6 million.
