Report: Sixers to sign former Hawks guard Skylar Mays to a deal
The Philadelphia 76ers have a roster at the moment that will be looking to contend for a title in the 2022-23 season, but they also have to look ahead to the future. The Sixers want to be sure they have young players stockpiled as well.
Early Wednesday morning, the Sixers signed young guard Skylar Mays to a deal. Mays has 61 games of NBA experience under his belt, all with the Atlanta Hawks, and he has career averages of 3.3 points and 0.8 assists while shooting 33.8% from deep.
Just as the Sixers did with Patrick McCaw, Mac McClung, and Justin Smith, one can assume that Mays will probably be waived to join the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League. Considering the Sixers have a ton of veterans on the roster with their eyes on a title, it would make sense if the Sixers do decide to waive Mays and have him join the G League.
