As the Philadelphia 76ers get set to begin the final week of the regular season on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers, they are putting the finishing touches on their roster.
After recently waiving Mason Jones, the team had opened up a two-way spot on the roster. With that open spot, they have decided to sign a stretch forward who has playoff experience under his belt.
The team will sign former Orlando Magic and Denver Nuggets forward Gary Clark to a two-way contract, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Clark has played in 37 games in the 2020-21 season with the Magic and the Nuggets before he was waived.

Clark started all five games for the Magic in the 2020 playoffs and he shot 34.4% from deep as Orlando fell in Round 1 of the playoffs. He also played in two playoff games with the Houston Rockets in 2019 so he does have some ability to knock down open looks from deep and he provides depth for the future.
