Although the Sixers were eliminated from this season's playoff race on Sunday night, it sounds like JJ Redick is open to the idea of returning to the team for another run.
Redick, who is soon to be a free agent, was asked about the possibility of re-signing with the Sixers during Monday's exit interviews:

Redick, now 34 years of age, began his tenure with the Sixers in 2017, signing a one-year, $23 million contract. After proving his worth as an elite shooter, Philadelphia decided to offer him another deal for the 2018-19 season.
Redick is widely recognized as one of the best shooters in basketball. In April, the former Duke Blue Devil set a franchise record for most 3-pointers in a season, passing Kyle Korver's 226 3-pointers made during the 2004–05 campaign.
In his 76 appearances with the Sixers this season (63 starts), Redick racked up averages of 18.1 points on 44.0 percent shooting from the field (39.7 percent from beyond the arc), 2.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 31.3 minutes per outing.
Whether or not the Sixers will choose to bring Redick back for another stint remains to be seen. If it were up to him, he'd like to retire in Philly.
