In trading for Jimmy Butler, the Philadelphia 76ers also opened up their 15th roster spot. While the trade and buyout markets have been stressed ad nauseam, the front office may look to fill the void with a current free agent.
According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, the Sixers worked out several veteran guards earlier in the week. Arron Afflalo, Sean Kilpatrick, Brandon Rush and Haywood Highsmith — who currently plays with the Delaware Blue Coats — all participated.
The Sixers still need depth, as evidenced by their poor outings against the elite Eastern Conference teams.
