The emergency at Philadelphia it’s far from over. Not only in terms of record (4-16, the second worst in the entire NBA), but also in terms of health. Also for this reason the president of basketball operations of the 76ers Daryl Morey has already decided to move on the market by signing a two-way contract Pete Nancebrother of Larry Nance Jr. To anticipate it reporter Tim Bontemps of ESPN.
The Philadelphia 76ers are signing Pete Nance to a two-way contract, Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports confirmed to ESPN. Nance, the younger brother of Hawks big Larry Nance, has been playing for the Cleveland Charge in the G-League.

To free up one of the slots that each franchise has for players two-way (the other two are occupied by Justin Edwards and Jeff Dowtin Jr.), the Sixers they decided to cut the contract of the 24-year-old guard Lester Quinones. The addition of Nance is crucial to. replenish the big players department, particularly battered by injuries and absences at the beginning of the season in Philadelphia. Andre Drummond he is still out with a sprained right ankle, Joel Embiid he seemed to be back but for personal reasons (or management of the left knee injury) he will miss the fifth consecutive match.
Hence the need to add fuel to the fire. And Pete Nance is just that: in the G League with the Cleveland Charge he was traveling at one averaged 18.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.9 blocks per game. He also played in eight NBA games in a Cavaliers jersey.
