Brett Brown, 76ers Agree to 3-Year Contract Extension

The Philadelphia 76ers and head coach Brett Brown agreed to terms on a contract extension through the 2021-22 season, the team announced Tuesday.

ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski initially reported the deal on Tuesday.

Brown was scheduled to enter the final year of his deal next season after previously agreeing to a two-year extension in December 2015.

Brown went 75-253 over his first four years on the job, as the Sixers laid the groundwork for what they hoped would be a prosperous future by stockpiling young assets and fielding a team that resided in the Eastern Conference cellar. 

That plan paid major dividends last season, as Brown captained a group led by Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons to a 52-30 finish that was good for the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. 

The Sixers, who finished third in defensive rating and fourth in net rating, proceeded to defeat the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs before suffering a second-round defeat at the hands of the Boston Celtics. 

Following the club's 24-game spike in the win column, Brown acknowledged the Sixers need to adjust their title-contending timetable. 

"Our culture is not to be denied. It is real," he said at his season-ending press conference. "Players want to play here. Free agents, we can attract. ... Our timeline has changed. Our expectations have changed, and that's a good thing."
