Philadelphia 76ers release athlete who recently underwent surgery and did not bring any guarantee to the franchise that he would be able to perform during the new season
O Philadelphia 76ers dismissed the pivot Montrezl Harrell this Monday, 23rd, according to several sources linked to the NBAincluding the journalist Shams Charania, from “The Athletic”. The Sixers debut in the 2023/24 season this Thursday, 26th, against Milwaukee Bucksaway from home, and now they have only 15 active athletes with contracts, in addition to another three under “two-way” contracts.
In August, the player underwent surgery to repair a simultaneous rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his right knee and there was no guarantee that he would be able to return to the court this season. According to information from “Reuters”, the Sixers plan to continue supporting the athlete’s recovery, who, according to the reporter, hopes to return to working with the ball during the break for the All-Star Weekend.
Montrezl Harrell is coming off a low-key season with the Sixers and was the backup center last year, but has seen the growth of Paul Reed. Furthermore, the franchise now has Mo Bamba to form the rotation behind the current NBA MVP, Joel Embiid.
