The Philadelphia 76ers continue to look to fortify their bench unit for the stretch run of the regular season as they look to get themselves in a better position for a playoff run. They waived Iggy Brazdeikis on Tuesday to create a roster spot and they added somebody they think can help on Saturday.
The Sixers will sign veteran Anthony Tolliver to a 10-day deal to help out with their second unit. Tolliver is a 12-year veteran who has bounced around the league quite a bit, but he is a proven 3-point shooter. He shoots 37.3% for his career and he has a wealth of experience.
For Tolliver, 35, this is his 15th stop in the NBA since entering the league undrafted in 2007. He worked out for the Sixers last week.

Tolliver played for the Portland Trail Blazers, the Sacramento Kings, and the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2019-20 season and he shot 41.5% from deep in 13 games for Memphis. He is 35-years old and he has not played yet in the 2020-21 season, so one wonders how much he can really give to the team on the floor, but he is a proven stretch big so that is something to keep an eye on.
