Free-agent forward Lee Nailon agreed to terms with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

Nailon, a 6-foot-9, 238-pounder, averaged a career-high 14.2 points and 4.4 rebounds in 68 games last season for the New Orleans Hornets.

"Lee will give us some added offense and experience," 76ers president Billy King said.

The former TCU player has averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in five seasons Charlotte-New Orleans, New York, Atlanta, Orlando and Cleveland.

Chris Webber looked out of place at times with the Sixers, raising questions about his surgically repaired left knee and whether it would hold up through the final three years and $62 million of his contract.

"My knee feels great, and before February, nobody was saying anything about the knee," Webber said yesterday in a phone interview from his native Detroit, where he was collecting goods and money for victims of Hurricane Katrina. "The knee felt fine."

Although Webber won't say it, he wasn't happy with his role in the offense employed by former coach Jim O'Brien. Often used at the high post, the 6-foot-10 245-pounder in effect became a jump-shooter for the Sixers. He shot just 39.1 percent from the field in 21 regular-season games.

"Everybody says that I don't want to play in the low post, but that's not true," said Webber, who is getting ready for his 13th NBA season. Webber will enter the season without legal issues hanging over his head.

A Detroit Pistons fan who threw a coin at the Philadelphia 76ers' Allen Iverson, hitting him in the back of the head, received a five-day jail sentence and a lengthy list of other punishments Thursday.

Dennis W. Pauley, 31, of Taylor, was arrested immediately after the April 26 incident, which occurred late in the Pistons' 99-84 victory in Game 2 of the first round of the NBA playoffs. He pleaded guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of throwing an object onto a playing surface.

Besides jail, Oakland County District Judge Julie Nicholson sentenced Pauley to two years of probation and ordered him not to drink alcohol during that time. She also fined him $200, ordered that he serve 10 weekends of supervised community service, required that he enroll in Alcoholics Anonymous and outpatient substance abuse treatment, and ordered him to undergo drug and alcohol testing while on probation.

Nicholson told Pauley that he faced 60 days in jail for each violation of the terms of his probation.
