The Sixers have acquired Indiana Pacers' forward Danny Granger, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports.

In exchange for Granger, the Sixers have sent Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen to Indiana, according to the report.

The Sixers have also reportedly received a future second-round pick, according to Zach Lowe of ESPN.

Granger is averaging 8.3 points and 1.1 assists per game this season. An All-Star in 2009, Granger missed the majority of the 2013 season after undergoing surgery on his left knee.

An eight-year veteran, Granger is averaging 17.6 points, 2.0 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game throughout his career. The 6-9, 228 lb swingman averaged over 20 points in back-to-back seasons from 2008-2010.

As for the team's commitment to Granger, the small forward is set to become a free agent this summer. So what the deal basically amounts to is a nice tryout for Granger, who should see plenty of playing time for the Sixers.

If the Sixers view Granger as a part of the future, this would also give them the first chance to sign him to a long-term deal. Although given his age (30) and the direction of this team, it's hard to imagine this amounts to anything more a tryout for the rest of the season.

In many ways, this trade was likely done more for the second-round pick than for Granger.

As for Turner, this ends what was a disappointing time for the No. 2 overall pick in Philadelphia. Whether the expectations for him to come in and save the franchise were fair or not, he certainly didn't make the difference the team thought he would as a high draft pick.

More details to come.
