The 76ers are signing forward Chuma Okeke to a 10-day contract, sources confirmed Thursday.
The Orlando Magic picked the 6-foot-6, 229-pounder 16th in the 2019 NBA Draft. Okeke averaged 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in four seasons with the Magic.
The 26-year-old signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the New York Knicks in October before being waived. He then signed with their NBA G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.
Okeke averaged 16.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 17 games with Westchester before agreeing to the 10-day contract.
The Atlanta native averaged 9.9 points and 6.3 rebounds during his two seasons at Auburn.
