76ers to sign teenager with special needs to contract

The 76ers are having a pretty horrible season, but they may have just made the best deal in franchise history.

The team will sign Kevin Grow, the Bensalem High School senior with Down syndrome who served as the basketball team's manager before suiting up the final two games and scoring 13 points, including four 3-pointers.

Via The Morning Call, Grow will be offered the contract in person from general manager Sam Hinkie.
