The preseason is over for the Philadelphia 76ers and they need to shape their roster for the start of the 2023-24 season. It is time for the front office to make those tough decisions as the team prepares for another title run.
After Friday’s win over the Atlanta Hawks in the preseason finale, the Sixers announced that are waiving undrafted rookie Ricky Council IV and David Duke Jr. Council was on a two-way deal. Duke was on an Exhibit 10 deal.
One has to assume the two will end up with Philadelphia’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. Council offers a great deal of athleticism while Duke has NBA experience and has shown he can shoot.

Neither Council nor Duke played any minutes in the preseason finale against Atlanta. If they head to Delaware, they will receive playing time with the Blue Coats.
