The Rush brothers tandem in Indiana will not materialize next season, as reserve guard Kareem Rush has agreed to terms on a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Terms were not disclosed.
Rush, a fifth-year guard, averaged 8.3 points and 2.4 rebounds per game for the Pacers last season, his only campaign in Indiana.
"As we continue to build our team, we're fortunate that we were able to sign a player as talented as Kareem Rush," Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski said. "We feel his abilities on both ends of the floor and his range as a three-point shooter will be assets to us this season."
Brandon Rush, Kareem's swingman brother, was drafted 13th overall in June by the Trail Blazers, who then dealt him to Indiana, briefly putting the brothers on the same team.
The 27-year-old has averaged 6.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per
game with the Pacers, Bobcats, and Lakers over his career.
