David Roddy has been assigned to the Delaware Blue Coats following a 10-day contract signed with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 6-foot-4 power forward was previously drafted 23rd overall by the Sixers in 2022, but was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. Roddy had a modest season with the Atlanta Hawks, averaging 4.5 points and 2.6 rebounds before being waived. His career averages stand at 6.3 points and 2.9 rebounds over 162 games.
The Blue Coats are gearing up for their upcoming matchup against the Motor City Cruise, while the 76ers, currently 20-32, prepare to take on the Toronto Raptors. Key players for the Sixers like Joel Embiid and Eric Gordon are questionable due to injuries. This situation intensifies the scrutiny on Roddy's potential contributions in the G-League as he seeks to carve out a more significant role in the NBA.
