On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers made the announcement that they had signed several players.
One of those players was Tacko Fall.
He last played in the NBA during the 2022 season.
ESPN’s Dave McMenamin wrote: “The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Tacko Fall, Jameer Nelson Jr. and Saint Thomas, the team announced. All three players are on Exhibit 10 deals, a source told ESPN, and will be a part of Sixers training camp.”
Looking At Fall
Fall went undrafted after a solid college career at Central Florida.
He spent his first two seasons with the Boston Celtics.
While Fall did not play major minutes, he was beloved by the Boston crowd.
After Boston, Fall spent part of one season with the Cleveland Cavaliers (before going overseas).
His career averages (in the NBA) are 2.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per contest while shooting 67.3% from the field in 37 games.
