The Philadelphia 76ers have received some good news with the strong possibility of Maxey returning to the team Friday for their matchup against New Orleans.
While Maxey will likely be on minutes restriction, it will be a positive for the team to get him back. The 22-year-old has been averaging 22.9 points and 4.4 assists on the season.
Also, since this is relevant, he’s been out since November 18th with a foot-related injury. A little over a month of action missed due to this injury.
Pelicans-76ers scheduled for December 30th at 6:30 PM Arizona time.
According to multiple reports, Marcus Morris has finalized his selection to either the Cleveland Cavaliers or the Philadelphia 76ers. Both teams had him on their roster last season.
As Morris heads into his 14th season, the 34-year-old can either re-sign with Cleveland or return to Philly. Either way, he wants a contract that isn’t centered around money but on a meaningful role.
In 37 games with Philly, Morris averaged 6.7 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 12 games with Cleveland, Morris averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds.
According to multiple reports, the Philadelphia 76ers will be signing Reggie Jackson after he clears waivers from the Charlotte Hornets. This is the second time in two years Jackson has been waived by the Hornets.
The Denver Nuggets traded the 34-year-old to Charlotte to shed his salary, which saw them getting two second-rounders from Denver to take the money.
Philadelphia needed to fill their hole in the backcourt, depth-related concerns, and they found Jackson to be the right match.
Jackson averaged 10.2 points and 3.8 assists in all 82 games last season for the Nuggets.
