The Sixers on Friday waived two-way big man Kenneth Lofton, Jr.
Lofton, who was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies earlier this year, signed a two-way contract with the Sixers back on Dec. 23. He’d been putting up huge numbers in 10 games for the Delaware Blue Coats, averaging 27.2 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 29.8 minutes. Despite the Sixers being ravaged by injuries and in need of another big man, Lofton never got any meaningful minutes with the big club.
The 21-year-old took home G League Rookie of the Year as a member of the Memphis Hustle last season.
