It is media day in the NBA on Monday and that means that training camp begins the next day as teams prepare for the 2021-22 season. It is a breath of fresh air as there is new hope for all 30 teams embarking on the new season.
For the Philadelphia 76ers, they have their own issues to deal with, but now is the time to get some bodies into camp so everybody can scrimmage and practice correctly. The Sixers have been in need of more ball-handlers, so they have brought one in on the eve of camp.
Philadelphia will sign guard Shaq Harrison to a training camp deal. Harrison spent the 2020-21 season with both the Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets averaging 2.1 points and 1.4 rebounds in 34 games split between the two teams.

Considering that the Sixers will be missing one of their bigger ball-handlers–see Simmons, Ben–they will be needing some help in that area to begin camp. Harrison offers some help in that regard as he looks to earn a spot on an NBA roster.
