The 76ers will bring back former player and coach Aaron McKie as an assistant coach, this according to a source within the organization.

McKie, who was most recently released by the Grizzlies in May, will join a Sixers' assistant coaching staff that includes Jim Lynam, John Loyer, and Jeff Ruland.

The Sixers are expected to make the official announcement on Monday.

Because the Lakers still held McKie's rights -- despite being a coach with the Sixers -- he was involved in a sign-and-trade with the Grizzlies.

On June 22, McKie was arrested for lying on a gun-application form. McKie received probation in the case.
