The Philadelphia 76ers have hired former WNBA player Lindsey Harding as a full-time scout, according to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.

Harding, 34, is just the second former WNBA player to land a full-time scouting job with an NBA team. She retired from playing in 2017 after a decade in the WNBA and assorted international stops.

"I would love to be in the front office and really understand how to put a team together," the Duke grad told Shelburne. "I still love being on the floor and having the opportunity to coach. But I really just wanted to get my foot in the door."
