Sixers Re-Sign Chasson Randle To Second 10-Day

JANUARY 20: The Sixers have re-signed Randle to a second 10-day contract, tweets Jessica Camerato of CSNPhilly.com. The club has reportedly also claimed Mo Williams off waivers, so a corresponding move will be necessary to make it all official.

JANUARY 19: The Sixers will likely re-sign Chasson Randle to a second 10-day contract after his current one is set to expire, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports (on Twitter). The Sixers first inked Randle to a 10-day pact on January 10th.

Randle has appeared in only two games for the Sixers. He played 16 minutes and scored 10 points with two rebounds in a win against the Bucks on January 16th. With Ben Simmons still out and the point guard position still in flux, the move to ink Randle to another deal makes sense. Randle’s shooting ability may earn him some additional playing time, too.

Randle, who went undrafted in 2015, appeared headed toward a roster spot with the Knicks in October, but was waived after suffering an orbital bone fracture. He joined the Westchester Knicks in the D-League as an affiliate player and has averaged 20.7 PPG through 19 contests. Randle was then one of a handful of point guards to audition for Philadelphia before earning a contract. At the time of the initial deal, the Sixers had an open spot on their 15-man roster after cutting Hollis Thompson.
