The 2009–10 Philadelphia 76ers season was the seventy-first season of the franchise and the sixty-first in the National Basketball Association (NBA).
This season became hopeful on December 2 when Allen Iverson returned to the team for his second stint with the Sixers; however, that hope was short lived as he left the team in February to attend to his then four-year-old daughter Messiah's health issues. Although Iverson was selected to play in what could have been his eleventh consecutive All-Star Game, he backed out for personal reasons. In March, it was announced that Iverson would not return to the 76ers for the rest of the season.
The Sixers season ended with a disappointing 27-55 record. After the season, Eddie Jordan was fired; he was subsequently replaced by former Sixer Doug Collins for the next season. Iverson later played overseas.
On June 25, the Sixers selected guard Jrue Holiday from UCLA with the 17th overall pick. On July 21 it was announced that Holiday put pen to paper on his rookie deal with the 76ers.[4]
The Sixers headed into the off-season with free agents Royal Ivey, Donyell Marshall, Andre Miller, Theo Ratliff and Kareem Rush.
On June 15 Royal Ivey declined his player option with the team and Ivey became an unrestricted free agent.[5]
After almost a month of contract negotiations with Andre Miller, the Sixers' management withdrew its contract offer; Miller then went on to sign with the Portland Trail Blazers on July 24.[2][3] Veteran center Theo Ratliff signed with the San Antonio Spurs on the same day.[6]
It was confirmed on August 6 by Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski and a player's agent that the Sixers would not re-sign Donyell Marshall.[7]
On August 4, it was announced that the Sixers had come to terms on a one-year contract with Yugoslavian born center Primož Brezec. Brezec had last played in the NBA during the 2007–08 season with the Toronto Raptors.[8]
After Royal Ivey had declined his player option on June 15, it was announced by the Sixers on August 10 that it had come to terms with Ivey.[5]
On September 15, the Sixers signed free agent swingman Rodney Carney. Carney had previously played with the Sixers from 2006 to 2008, but was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves before the start of the 2008–09 season.[9]
