Philadelphia, PA – July 21, 2010 – Philadelphia 76ers President and General
Manager Ed Stefanski announced today that the team has signed free agent
center Tony Battie. As per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“We see Tony Battie as a player who can come in and give us additional depth
in the front court while also providing a valuable veteran presence for our
younger players both on and off the court,” Stefanski said.

Battie (6-11, 240) recently completed his 12th NBA season and is averaging
6.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.90 blocks in 772 career games with 418 starts.
He has also appeared in 51 playoff games with 30 starts and was a member of
the Orlando Magic’s Eastern Conference Championship team in 2008-09.

Originally the fifth overall pick by Denver in the 1997 NBA Draft, Battie was
traded twice following his rookie season, ending up in Boston. After five
full seasons with the Celtics, he was sent to Cleveland early into the
2003-04 campaign, which coincided with LeBron James’ rookie season.

In July of 2004, the Cavaliers packaged Battie in a trade to Orlando, one
month after the Magic added Dwight Howard with the first overall pick in the
2004 NBA Draft. Battie spent the next five seasons with the Magic, including
2005-06 when he started all 82 games with averages of 7.9 points and 5.6
rebounds while playing alongside Howard.

Last summer, Battie was traded to New Jersey as part of Orlando’s draft day
deal for Vince Carter following the Magic’s run to the NBA Finals in 2009.
Battie appeared in 15 games for the Nets last season.

A standout at Texas Tech, Battie left as the Red Raiders all-time leader in
blocks despite forgoing his senior season. His brother, Derrick, played
basketball at Temple.
