The Sixers on Friday announced that they waived Anthony Tolliver.
The veteran forward was signed midseason in 2020-21 to provide bench depth. The 36-year-old played in just 11 regular-season games and one playoff game with the Sixers. The signing made sense as the team struggled to find reliable minutes from the backup four spot. Alas, Tolliver did little to demonstrate he was an improvement over Mike Scott.
Tolliver was signed to a two-year deal with the second year not being guaranteed. Daryl Morey likely structured the deal this way to give the Sixers flexibility in case they needed to throw a low-money contract in any trade.
