Sixers waive Patrick McCaw, 2 others to clear way to join Blue Coats

With the Philadelphia 76ers steamrolling ahead towards opening night with the Boston Celtics on the road on Oct. 18, they are still tweaking their roster and making sure they have their young players in a position to succeed in the future.

The Sixers on Tuesday announced that they have signed and then waived Patrick McCaw, Mac McClung, and Justin Smith in order to send them to the team’s G League affiliate, the Delaware Blue Coats. They will be with the team in time for G League training camp.

McCaw was signed on Tuesday morning before being waived while McClung was brought in on Saturday. Smith was with the Sixers in the Las Vegas Summer League where he averaged 5.0 points per game.

McCaw is a 3-time NBA champion who will be looking to earn a spot in the NBA again sooner rather than later while McClung and Smith will be looking to eventually earn a spot on an NBA roster.
