The Philadelphia 76ers begin training camp on Tuesday as they get set to prepare for the 2020-21 season beginning on Dec. 22 and they need to set the roster up for camp and the preseason.
On the eve of camp on Monday, the Sixers will bring in another body and that will be Lamine Diane of Cal State Northridge in the Big West Conference. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 25.6 points and 10.2 rebounds and he was named the Big West Player of the Year twice.
Team president Daryl Morey welcomed Diane to the team on Twitter along with some highlights of his college career on YouTube.

A team source then confirmed that the Sixers are signing Diane to an exhibit 10 contract. That means that he will be with the team in camp, but he will most likely be sent to the G League whenever their season gets worked out.

Diane will have the opportunity to learn from some vets such as Danny Green and Seth Curry as well as compete for his NBA future. [lawrence-related id=39648,39643,39630]
