The Sixers will welcome center Spencer Hawes for a workout tomorrow, tweets ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The 31-year-old played 10 NBA seasons, but hasn’t been in the league since 2016/17 when he appeared in a combined 54 games with the Hornets and Bucks. In March, he signed with the G League’s South Bay Lakers and averaged 14.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in nine games.
The 10th pick in the 2007 draft, Hawes played for six teams during his career, but spent most of his time with Philadelphia, amassing 253 games from 2010 to 2014. His best year came in 2013/14 when he averaged 13.2 PPG and 8.3 RPG, but he was traded to the Cavaliers midway through the season.
Joe Johnson will also be working out Thursday for the Sixers, who currently have just one available opening for training camp, so the two veterans appear to be competing for an invitation. Philadelphia has 14 guaranteed contracts, with the 15th roster spot tentatively belonging to Trey Burke, tweets ESPN’s Bobby Marks. Burke has a $405K guarantee that rises to $810K if he makes the opening-night roster.
No
He’s too slow and can’t run up and down the court
I remember grabbing him off the wire the last time he was on the Sixers. Dude balled out for my fantasy points league…those were dark days for the Sixers.
2 words: Man and Bun
Didn’t help Rob Gray get into the NBA either.
Return of the Man Bun! Thank you God!
He’s trash. Don’t need him. We already have Embid Hordford OQuinn Bolden and Scott that can cover the 5 spot. If we did want another big Noah would be better
one of the worst players i’ve ever seen and i went to a lot of sixers games during his era. couldn’t catch a pass and cried every time things didn’t go his way
oh, that’s nice, the puppy is returning home as an old dog
