Two weeks after re-signing Rayjon Tucker to a two-way contract, the Sixers have placed him on waivers, the team announced (via Twitter).
Tucker signed a two-way deal with Philadelphia in January after going through training camp with the Clippers. He got into 14 games and averaged 2.4 PPG and 0.8 RPG in 4.9 minutes per night. He was a starter for the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League bubble, putting up 19.4 PPG, 4.7 RPG, and 4.1 APG in 15 games.
It’s possible that Tucker accepted his qualifying offer from the Sixers, which would have been the equivalent of another two-way deal with a $50K guarantee.
The move leaves Philadelphia with a two-way slot open. Undrafted rookie Aaron Henry holds the team’s other two-way contract.
I like Tucker (thickest thighs in the NBA), but he didn’t really showcase enough to warrant a spot in r to carve out a role with our squad. Hoping he catches on somewhere, his raw athleticism is off the charts.
He’d probably carve out a nice career in China and could be a highlight reel, if he doesn’t catch on in the NBA.
