Sixers to unveil statue honoring Dolph Schayes on Saturday

The Philadelphia 76ers will debut a statue honoring Hall of Fame big man Dolph Schayes on Saturday at 11 a.m. EST in Camden, New Jersey, at the Sixers practice facility, the team announced Tuesday afternoon.

Schayes spent the entirety of his 15-year career with the Sixers organization, 14 of which came when they were known as the Syracuse Nationals. During his final season as a player in 1963, he also took on the role of head coach, a position he held for three seasons, guiding the Sixers to a 55-25 record in 1966 en route to a Coach of the Year nod.
