Matt Barnes is coming back to Philadelphia.  The Sixers signed the athletic small forward to a contract today to bolster their front-court depth.

Barnes was acquired with Chris Webber and Michael Bradley in last season's blockbuster trade.  But Barnes never saw any action with the Sixers.

Barnes began the season in New York and averaged 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds prior to being waived on December 3.  He is 6-7 and will back up and complement the outside game of Kyle Korver.
