09/02/2008 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia 76ers added veteran free-agent forward Donyell Marshall on Tuesday. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"Donyell Marshall has proven time and time again his value as a player in this league," said Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski. "We believe his ability to stretch defenses with his perimeter shooting will prove to be a great asset for our team and we look forward to having him back home in Philadelphia."
The 35-year-old Marshall, who was born in nearby Reading, Pennsylvania, averaged 3.8 points and 2.9 rebounds per game last season, which he split between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Seattle SuperSonics. The 6-foot-9, 245- pound Connecticut product, drafted fourth overall in 1994 by Minnesota, has averaged 11.4 points and 6.8 rebounds per game over 13 seasons with the Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Utah Jazz, Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Cavaliers and Sonics.
Marshall will also add playoff experience to the young Sixers. He has averaged 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 41 career postseason contests.
Marshall started last season with Cleveland before being packaged in a three- team trade to Seattle in February. Seattle, now Oklahoma City, waived Marshall on August 20. His acquisition likely caps a busy offseason for the Sixers, who added power forward Elton Brand, and re-signed swingman Andre Iguodala and guard Lou Williams.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
