Shorthanded Sixers add 23-year old guard Saben Lee on a two way contract
It’s no secret the Philadelphia 76ers are currently dealing with multiple injuries to their roster. Down two primary guards in Tyrese Maxey, James Harden and Jaden Springer, the Sixers opted to make a move following last night’s win against the Nets and sign Saben Lee to a two-way deal.
In a corresponding move, the Sixers waived rookie big man Michael Foster Jr.
Lee is 23-years old and started this season with the Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League affiliate. He played 40 minutes on Monday night in an overtime loss, posting 23 points and nine assists.
In seven games at the G League level this year, Lee averaged 21.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.6 rebounds per game.

Lee was selected 38th overall in the 2020 NBA Draft out of Vanderbilt and played two years with the Detroit Pistons.
Over two years, Lee averaged 16.3 minutes per game, scoring 5.6 points with two rebounds and three assists per game. He shot 43% from the floor and a dismal 27% from three point range.
